Review
“Kids will find the idea of a monstrous sneeze funny, and it may prompt some attempts of their own. Rexs richly detailed illustrations are brimming with fantastic touches. Share this one at toddler storytime for lots of giggles, or one-on-one for spotting details in the art.” Booklist
Review
“Gaimans comic timing gets a boost from strategic book design and from Rexs hyperreal paintings, which emphasize Chus round, fuzzy form and apparent harmlessness. Gaiman and Rex deliver a classic one-two-three punch, making hay from the notion that a cuddly baby panda is not to be trusted.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
