Review
"In its approach and eye-popping execution, this book recalls the I Spy or Look-Alike titles...a soon-to-be-cherished zany cousin." Publishers Weekly
Review
"Wonderfully retro-looking plastic toys are arranged and photographed in unlikely madcap tableaux in which nearly every object begins with the same letter." Kathie Meizner, School Library Journal
Review
"The creativity of the phrases...is only outdone by the effort it must have taken to find and arrange the small items that make up the whimsical dioramas....Impressive and innovative." Kirkus Reviews
Review
"Like the I Spy books, this will provide hours of fun, and children may be tempted to stage their own outrageous scenarios with things found around the house." Ilene Cooper
