In short: nailed it.-- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)"<br><br>Storytime getting sleepy? FIXED IT!-- "Horn Book Magazine"<br><br>The humorous concept and brief text married to hilarious illustrations make this a great choice for story time or one-on-one sharing.-- "School Library Journal"<br><br>This is a perfect book to read aloud to a large group of kids. It's funny, engaging, and the art just pops off the page. When artists are allowed to let their freak flag fly, they can be capable of thoroughly awesome endeavors. <em>Mr. Nogginbody</em> is thoroughly awesome. Let's hope we'll see more of him and his odd little interpretations of the world in future installments.-- "Betsy Bird, A Fuse #8 Production"<br><br>A 2019 BCCB Blue Ribbon Book<br>
