  • Lighthearted and humorous, this easy chapter book is made all the more appealing by Bernardin’s comical black-and-white illustrations.
    –Lauren Peterson, Booklist
    • A funny read for children and parents alike; nice for young readers because of the large font and black and white illustrations.
      –Cindy L. Carolan, Children
