Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, August 15, 2011: <br> The authors tuck in some morsels of biology, end with instructions for making green slime and provide another sort-of closure for the main plot--as Peggy puts it: 'Oh no! The algae just got wiped out by an Asteroid!! That's so sad!!! Gee, I wonder if tomorrow is pizza day!' Any day there's a new Squish (or Babymouse, for that matter) is Pizza Day. <br><br><br> From the Trade Paperback edition.
