Reviews
Grey, one of the more inventive picture-book creators working these days, offers a beguiling little parable. Booklist Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, March 1, 2011: Grey s wonderfully expressive, richly textured mixed-media collages leap and bound with funny details (like the All-Purpose Flakes box in the kitchen, perfect for both baking and bathing). Vivacious design elements such as comic-strip like panels for action sequences and cut strips of type for the dialogue in the climactic fight add further fun. The clear, clever text rendered in a large font is as fresh and invigorating as the rest.
