★ "A memorable, original character in the crowded field of early-reader books. . . With great aplomb, Steele's detailed, colorful cartoon illustrations capture the waggish antics and googly-eyed expressions. Thomas' short, snappy sentences, superb pacing, and satisfying, sweet deal of an ending make for a winning entry. Beginning readers will howl for more books in this hilarious early-reader series.”
—Booklist, Starred Review
"A dryly humorous celebration of solitude—and jelly beans."
