“An exciting start to a new series.” – School Library Journal
“The wordplay is sure to garner some big belly laughs, but it also serves up several important literacy lessons, including the concepts of homonyms and context clues . . . Fans of Song’s squirrels (Donut Feed the Squirrels, BCCB 9/20, etc.) will be absolutely thrilled to find another punny pair to accompany them on their quest to solo reading.” – The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
