Reviews / Votes
An "ambiguous being" with a focused future makes for a fine role model. - Kirkus ReviewsBlob will come as a comfort to any kids who struggle with the "what I want to be when I grow up" assignments. Our hero's insistence on their right name additionally models useful behavior for kids who often have their names mispronounced. - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
A perfectly paced, relatable comedy sure to tickle the preschool set with its exuberant illustrations and message of self-actualization. - School Library Journal
