Reviews
***STARRED REVIEW***
"It's hard work to make something that's not only new but wins the hearts of others, but in the hands of these creators--human and whale alike--the labors of the creative process sing."--Publisher's Weekly
***STARRED REVIEW***
"In this hilarious story, Eggers succeeds in giving readers one whale of a lesson on the values of learning from criticism, abandoning what isn't working, and never giving up."
--Booklist
"Eggers tackles important themes--the challenges of the creative process, which entails unavoidable laboring, and the necessity of trustworthy friends willing to give honest feedback. An approachable explanation of tenacity, friendship, and hope."--Kirkus
"Despite (or because of?) murky waters that seem related to writerly indulgence, this develops a theme worth the hearing, even for creative readers well beyond the younger reaches of the picture book audience."--School Library Journal
"[T]he dry, witty voice and direct asides give this picture book plenty of humor, and there's a surprising balance between snark and tenderness... solo readers will delight in the irreverent humor."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
