Funny and acerbic. Evocative illustrations.

The New York Times

Hilarious and filled with super-stylish illustrations, it's sure to tickle your funny bone.

Little London Magazine

This first collaboration by John and Smith is a triumph. There is not a missed beat in this cadence of comedy.

Margie Myers-Culver, Librarian's Quest

School Library Journal

This penguin is ... basically Larry David in Antarctica! Who wouldn't love that?

The New York Post



Stunningly beautiful.
