Reviews
Wordplay and visual quips abound in this clever and uncontrived sendup of the detective noir drama...Time flies when you're having fun reading this terrifically silly spoof.
--Kirkus
"This book's wordplay and visual humor are just right for the intended audience; time is sure to fly with Time Flies in the story-hour mix."--Horn Book
"Emerging readers will enjoy the puns and wordplay...Old-fashioned fun to push kids into funny business; pair this with Bill Martin, Jr. and John Archambault's Chicka Chicka Boom Boom or any in Eric Litwin, James Dean, and Kimberly Dean's "Pete the Cat" series."--School Library Journal
