Raves and Reviews
Teague's naptime comedy of errors will surely elicit giggles from little ones, and the direct address text makes it especially well suited to a silly story time....Just right for naptime, this is sure to resonate with decidedly not sleepy children and their beleaguered adults.
– Booklist, 10/15/2024
* "It’s storytelling hog heaven, with narrative twists, delightfully deadpan visuals, and resonant themes of autonomy, mischievousness, ingenuity, and emerging responsibility."
– Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW, 7/15/24
