Raves and Reviews
“Weinberg’s digitally enhanced watercolor and pencil cartoon illustrations are full of energy and movement… VERDICT An irreverent punch line adds surprise and a last belly laugh.”
– School Library Journal
"This cheeky book delighted my children so much that they made me read it three times in a row. It has become a staple of our bedtime routine."
– Joanna Goddard, A Cup of Jo
“This exuberant romp includes joyous, over-the-top illustrations. The roller coaster loops and swoops, mimicking serpentine coils, and the pages alternate between horizontal and vertical views. Frank and Harold’s creative problem-solving…. [is]perfectly in sync with the theme of best buddies having a wonderful time at the fair. This tale of friendship will make for a rambunctious read-aloud.”
– Booklist Online
“With his thick, sloppy, ripply purple lines and desert Day-Glo palette, Weinberg (Rex Finds an Egg! Egg! Egg!) packs in the action, as well as a sweet reminder that true friends stick together even when circumstance might pry them apart.”
– The New York Times
