Reviews

Wanda Gag Honor Book 2010
2011 Washington Children's Choice Picture Book Award nominee


"But Ketteman's retelling, including a sassy Texas twang, makes the story hilarious and bright...readers will be chiming in on cue...The colors are vibrant yet ominous and swampy...A fun choice for libraries and classrooms."--School Library Journal


"The book's chief attraction...is Terry's hilarious illustrations. His funny gators have distinct personalities, and the picture of the Boar stuck in the chimney is inspired. Brisk fun."--Kirkus Reviews


"Folksy details in both text ('Third Gator ran faster than a fox after a muskrat') and art (a bottle of boar sauce sits next to the fireplace, as the boar earns some grill marks) should entertain."--Publishers Weekly


"Loaded with plenty of outlandish action from the bug-eyed, cartoonish characters rendered in glimmering colors, this would make a rip-roaring group readaloud."--Booklist


"The text includes some funny rhymes ('I'll wriggle my rump with a bump, bump, bump'). Animated illustrations feature googly-eyed gators and clever details (e.g., hot sauce is on hand by the chimney)."--The Horn Book Guide


"The vibrant, funny illustrations almost jump off the page."--Library Media Connection
