Reviews
"The illustrations, done in a collagelike style that combines simple shapes, deftly play with visual sequencing and wonderfully expressive characters to cleverly set up the story. . . . The power of cooperation reaches its zenith in a satisfying, high-spirited conclusion. . . . The power of teamwork becomes the people's power, all wrapped in a cheerful romp."--Kirkus Reviews
"[E]ngaging and humorous. Introducing the picture book crowd to a bit of knowledge about who is in charge of passing laws, [Unstoppable] will also delight adults in its depiction of our government."-School Library Journal
"[A]n adorably goofy graphic aesthetic. . . . [N]ot only funny . . . and beautiful to look at, with a clean, bold design and exuberant typography-it also hints at collaboration's role in effecting change. [A] fetching fractured fable." -Publisher's Weekly, Starred Review
