Critic Reviews

"Ideal for reading aloud at storytime....It doesn’t take a fortune teller to predict the laughter that will emanate from this world of tomorrow." —Kirkus Reviews

"An earnest first learning book that’s rendered in electric colors....it’s a solemnly silly look at social norms—and the authorities who decide them." —Publishers Weekly

"Two award-winning authors make for an explosive combination in this crowd-pleasingly zany story that is sure to be a story hour hit." —School Library Journal

"Barnett’s expert comedic pacing brings the silliness to another dimension....the visual humor has plenty of sly moments, sure to be appreciated on repeat visits....The future is weird; buckle up." —The Horn Book

"This silly book is sure to have kids screeching with laughter in a storytime....The book as a whole pokes gentle fun at both current society and sci-fi media that relies too heavily on fictional, incomprehensible neologisms." —The Bulletin
