Review, The New York Times Book Review, June 5, 2011:
“Blackall’s softly colored illustrations manage to make even stretched-out rats look adorable.”
Starred review, Booklist, May 15, 2011:
“Stevens’ spot-on story about every mother’s nightmare, the group grocery-store shop, is matched by Blackall’s delicious art…This is a book that’s clever in every sense of the word: skillful, original, and witty.”
Starred review, School Library Journal, July 1, 2011:
“Don’t miss this hilarious shopping trip.”
