Review
"Willems builds multimedia collages...escalating from calm rectangular panels to pointed, starry shapes. His goofy wordplay and onomatopoeic display type amplify the hilarity, and temptation is demonstrably forgiven in a funny coda." Publishers Weekly
Review
"Emotion explodes all over the pages in wildly expressive, colorful vignettes and an eye-popping use of emphatic display type." Kirkus Reviews

"For a storytime treat that children will devour, don't miss this shopping trip." School Library Journal
