"So much action and humor, so few words . . . More than half the fun, of course, is in reading this book out loud." --The New York Times Book Review "Surprises, mayhem, potty humor, sharks, and ice cream: What's not to like?" --Kirkus Reviews, starred review "A hilarious and rollicking adventure using just one word." --Booklist, starred review Praise for Aaron Reynolds' Nerdy Birdy series: "Very funny and full of hope--and feathers." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review "It's the entertaining birds-of-a-feather friendship dynamic that's the biggest tweet, er, treat for readers." --Horn Book Praise for Dan Santat's After the Fall: "Luminous." --Horn Book, starred review "I was so genuinely surprised by the book's conclusion that I won't spoil it.
