Reviews

**STARRED REVIEW**
"Pinkwater fans know to expect absurd situations, wry humor, and zany mayhem, and this latest picture book does not disappoint. . .Renier's vivid gouache illustrations feature bold, in-your-face hues and busy, detail-filled compositions that extend the text and invite protracted viewing. . .This ridiculous adventure will be catnip to feline-lovers and those with an offbeat sense of humor."

* Booklist *
The bright and busy gouache illustrations are chock-full of offbeat, whimsical details that tell parallel stories of their own. . .Flamboyantly fanciful and so much fun! * Kirkus Reviews *
The wealth of meandering character-driven asides and the story's densely colored gouache drawings are packed with details both on point and amusingly extraneous. It's worldbuilding at its most absurd. * Publishers Weekly *
Tongue-twisting text, odd and lovable characters, and Renier's vibrant, gouache, mixed-media-esque illustrations make a delightful fever dream that will please both the grown-up reading the books and the kiddos listening. . .This is Pinkwater at his best, clever, charming, and weird in the best possible ways. * The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books *
"With jolly maximalism and Shrinky Dinks shadings, this is a book that invites children to take off their thinking caps, relax and revel in pure silliness. * New York Times *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
