Reviews
**STARRED REVIEW** "The tattling is so silly and the tails illustrated so joyfully that they'll delight readers, especially when Auggie's attempts to free the town backfire in funny ways... Funny, charming, and bighearted." * Kirkus Reviews *
Bright cartoon art and speech-bubble dialogue help add character and detail to the story. The silly imaginary creatures combined with a gentle plot works well for early chapter book readers as well as for those eager to listen to longer stories read aloud. The solution to the Tattle-Tail dilemma, and the problems it caused, offers a number of points for engaging discussion. * The Horn Book Magazine *
