I grew up with David in NJ but lost touch a very long time ago. He was a brilliant illustrator back then and when I discovered he had a book published I rushed out to get it for my son. What a great story and the illustrations are very colorful, detailed and fun. So not only do I get to share a great book with my son, I also get to tell him I knew David before he was famous! I can't wait to pick up his newest title.
I LOVE IT!!

David Slonim has shown his artistic talent in several other best selling books. But now he has combined his art and storytelling talents into a delightful children's book. You will laugh at the humor surrounding this fun-filled book. The illustrations are amazing; you always catch something new each time you read the story. It's a book you and your child will read over and over again. I cannot wait for David's next book!
GREAT!!!!

I recently had the pleasure of meeting David (author and Illustrator) before this book hit shelves. He is a remarkable young man with an amazing sence of humor. You can really feel his personality in this AMAZING book! The Illustrations are gallery worthy and the story is great for children! I'm a student at the College for Creative studies and I bought the book for the sole purpose of the beautiful illustration! A great buy!
