What do the critics think?

"Feiffer has an economy of style and understated wit that reminds me of her father, Jules, and also of the way children really speak."

                - Penelope Green, The New York Times Book Review

 

"Feiffer's simple, easy to read text, and Ingman's playful illustrations, combine to make Madison's over the top tale of obsession one that is sure to appeal to pink lovers and non-pink lovers everywhere.

             -  Pat Trattles, Children's Literature

 

"Breezy and charming and pleasingly subversive, the book burrows right into the heart of the Declaration. This little Jeffersonian is exercising his right to the pursuit of happiness."

                -Kirkus Reviews

 

"Oh, the humor! ...Kate Feiffer, with her pitch-perfect writing skills, and Diane Goode, whose artwork corresponds flawlessley, have got this book SO right! I urge you to check-it-out."

              - Bianca Schulze, The Children's Book Review

 

"Kate Feiffer’s straightforward prose and clever, humorous story speak to Everybaby, and Jules Feiffer’s jangly-limbed, blue-eyed boy, illustrated in pen-and-ink with washes of blue watercolor, is adorability incarnate."

              - Pamela Paul, The New York Times Sunday Book Review

 

"Warm, funny, loving, refreshing, respectful and honest — the list of accolades for this book could go on."

              -Rob Hammett, The Vineyard Gazette

FIVE STARS! "...one of the best little picture books to hit the market all year. A fun, beautifully illustrated, original concept with a great idea and some top-notch writing." 

    - Elizabeth Bird, A Fuse #8 Production (SLJ)

 

"Consistently quirkily entertaining and insightful"     -The Chicago Tribune

 

 

"Kids that enjoy reading will have a lot of fun with this one. Kate Feiffer has developed a story jam-packed with entertaining word play."

    - Bianca Schulze, The Children’s Book Review.
