Synopses & Reviews
Stuck inside on a rainy day, Iggie can't help getting a bad case of the crazies. But when they come to life, look out! Suddenly she is overswept by the Krazees--mad, manic creatures who stir her into a mess-making frenzy--"plipple, plop bim bango!"--before they vanish--"poof!"--just as the rain stops and the sun pokes its way out of the clouds. This rollicking picture-book romp soars to the highest heights in Eric Brace's hysterical, high-kinetic pictures.
Review
"A properly silly read-aloud." (Kirkus Reviews)
Review
"A gleeful fantasy." --
Publishers Weekly"Popular psychology for the preschool set . . . Charmingly wrought." - New York Times Book Review
“Iggie gets the Krazees in her head on a wet gray day when the rain goes ‘plipple popple dipple dop, and it makes her feel ‘all bungleboo. . . . Kids will enjoy the chaos and the silly sounds that show how it feels to be cooped up on a dull rainy day.” - Booklist
“These are marvelous lines to read - or squeak or growl or rumble - aloud. Braces illustrations have the fully realized, 3-D quality of Claymation, as well as that mediums rather funky esthetic and Taos palette . . . Just terrific.” - The New York Times Book Review
