This is the first book for both Falatko and Miller, and it’s an excellent one—Falatko’s writing nimbly zigs and zags around Miller’s bold, goofy cartoons. —Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW!
More than merely meta, Snappsy is clearly a book, if not a protagonist, with bite. —Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW!
Falatko’s debut picture book is atruly laugh-out-loud, mischievous romp, made gleefully goofier by Miller’s straight-laced, deadpan animalcharacters. —Booklist, STARRED REVIEW!
Filled with exploration-worthy detail… overdocumented youngsters may feel some sympathy for Snappsy, and audiences...will giggle at his battle with the overexcited narrator. —BCCB, STARRED REVIEW!
This clever debut will renew faith in the possibilities of fourth-wall breaking.” —The New York Times
Asilly, cleverintroduction to the idea of the unreliable narrator.” —The Boston Globe
