Review Quote

"Pullman sets a pleasingly flip tone from the start as he retells the tale with gusto. . . . Beck's crosshatch pen-and-watercolor illustrations, primarily framed as panel vignettes with speech and thought bubbles, keep things percolating visually. He gussies up Puss in an outfit that would do D'Artagnan proud and adds numerous droll touches, including a quartet of hilarious portraits of the Ogre's prospective brides. A fun frolic." -- Publishers Weekly
