""A tale meant to be read aloud...this is a straight-up gigglefest."" -- School Library Journal ""Yoshitake has done a great job of capturing the frustration of a kid not understanding adults' rules but understanding very clearly that they are being asked to live by them. Though the book starts at a place of frustration...it ends in a place of love...definitely a place of empathy."" -- Booklist
