Review

Texas Bluebonnet Award Winner"An all-day sugar rush, putting the 'fun' back into, er, education." —Kirkus"Told in excellently structured rhyming couplets, this story has a Seussian feel, although the vocabulary is much more varied and advanced. . . . Reluctant readers will be especially intrigued." —School Library Journal
