Alice Schertle is the acclaimed author of many children’s books, including William and Grandpa, recipient of the Christopher Award. Her poetry has been called “witty” (Kirkus Reviews), “vivid” (The Horn Book), and “unique” (ALA Booklist).
Short rhyming verses on each page and several strategic page turns add drama to the narrative, but soft, mottled effects in the otherwise colorful illustrations keep the competition from becoming too intense...A friendship tale with solid messaging and plenty of fun sounds to share. — Kirkus Reviews
