Another winner from this talented pair."-- "Kirkus Reviews" (pointered review)"Here's a new treat for the multitudes who devoured "The New Kid on the Block.""-- "ALA Booklist" (starred review)"Prelutsky loosens his agile imagination in words, while around the pages cavort Stevenson's interpretive line drawings, shimmy-shimmying to the beat. Terrific." -- "Kirkus Reviews" (pointered review)"Prelutsky's predilection for playfulness percolates throughout this collection of slyly subversive rhymes, and he couldn't ask for a better partner in crime than Stevenson...."-- "Publishers Weekly" (starred review)
