"The acrylic paintings perfectly match the joyful nature of the narrative. The human figures are expressive and fluidly drawn, and the backdrops have a psychedelic quality that evokes the time period. Text ripples in waves across a riot of bright shades, accented by font color and size changes." School Library Journal, Starred
