Reviews / Votes
"[A] riotous book perfect for kids ready to spread their own wings as brand-new readers. . . . They'll fly through this tale with plenty of giggles. . . . A funny, high-flying exploration of sound words that's perfect for plucky new readers ready to let loose." - Kirkus Reviews"[This] wacky story. . . takes readers on a wild ride. . . . Hare's engagingly composed cartoonlike illustrations. . . take the wheel from the stripped-down text, heightening the absurdity. Effective page-turns, text placement, and punctuation enhance the spot-on comedic timing. . . . Flying south for the winter may not always be this chaotic-but these snowbirds sure stick the landing." - Horn Book Magazine
