Praise
"[The] book explodes with sound on every page. . . . The galloping, emphatic pace makes the book fun to read aloud. Lester’s cartoons have a frowzy, kinetic appeal that’s particularly apt in a story featuring a scruffy dog." — School Library Journal
"Illustrated with a great deal of humor. . . In this particular story, which ends mostly happily, the bug has the last bite." — The New York Times Book Review
"Told in crisply scanning anapestic verse and heavily punctuated with onomatopoeic exclamations, this is a madcap friendship story that begs to be read aloud with panache. . . . Abundant motion lines, copious scrawled hatch and crosshatch details, and heaps of sly character humor (the flea has a winning grin, the dog is scruffily endearing) all work together to support the playful text." — The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
