Reviews
A Little Mavericks Graphic Novel Reading List​ Selection
A 2023 Booklist Editor's Choice Book

★ "If the Platonic ideal of the young children's comic both helps them interpret their world and introduces new ideas for them to explore and expand on, then Brunetti has brought that conceptual model into actual existence." --Booklist, starred review

"This is the sort of picture book that moves easily from the lap into the world, encouraging children ages 3-6 to recognize the shapes around them hiding in plain sight." --The Wall Street Journal

"A strong introduction to graphic novels . . . Will have readers eagerly pointing out the shapes around them."--Kirkus Reviews

"Captures the fun of a bunch of kids getting their creativity into tip-top shape."--Publishers Weekly

"Readers are learning all about shapes as the students are . . . Brunetti's artwork itself is a sophisticated version of what the kids are doing." -- Youth Services Book Review

"Hard to read without immediately being motivated to gather up shapes and a small child to make art." -- YA Books Central

"A mathematical masterpiece." -- Olivia the Librarian
