Reviews
"...an explosion of colors, symbols, lines, waves, and characters visually narrate the battle between child and machine; and Mika's emotions and determination radiate from the young, tiger-head-framed face [...] this delightful childhood exploit shows a true understanding of how extreme the experiences of daily life can be for a toddler, and [the creators] have blended their talents seamlessly for an exciting literary triumph. Budding book lovers will want this one in their personal libraries, while the adults charged with reading it will never see their household appliances in the same way."--Jen Forbus "Shelf Awareness"
"Mika's household dilemma is reminiscent of Mo Williams' delightful Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale, which features a laundromat. Mika and the Gurgler is a lovely ode to imagination and the special bond between children and their favorite stuffed buddies."

"A quirky and enjoyable volume for young graphic novel enthusiasts."-- "School Library Journal"
