[A] rollicking read-aloud. Dont sleep on this one."--Kirkus Reviews"Meloys musical text, always bouncing forward in Seussian rhythms, builds along with the action. Its an exercise in energetic absurdity, a busier, edgier, and more grounded take on Eric Carles The Nonsense Show, with Harris primary spot-colored illustrations capturing the intensity and charm. An enticing bedtime alternative."--Booklist"Pictures are packed with details, including clever allusions to other picture books and chapter books for young readers. . . .
