Product Details

Praise

“Stein’s instantly recognizable illustrations, rendered in ballpoint pen and digitally enhanced watercolor, are alive with color and action, bringing this dramedy to its satisfying conclusion. Readers will be pleased to know this is not the last they’ll see of Beaky Barnes.”—Kirkus, starred review

“Readers will find new gags to giggle at with repeat viewings and will look forward to future comic encounters with Beaky and friends.”—The Horn Book Magazine

“Increasingly hilarious high jinks that ultimately culminate in a delightful conclusion. Stein’s signature watercolor and ink illustrations burst with humor and action on every spread, coupled flawlessly with clever wordplay and amusing dialogue. Readers will be eager for more of Beaky’s adventures. Highly recommended.”—School Library Journal

“In inky cartoon panels that cross the narrative irreverence of the Marx Brothers with the breakneck silliness of French farce, Stein’s story affirms the folly of pigeonholing anyone—even a very big chicken.”—Publishers Weekly

“Full of ridiculous characters, zany antics, and tongue-in-cheek humor, this rollicking tale’s absurd storyline and wry humor calls up classic cartoon comedies such as Rocky and Bullwinkle or Looney Tunes and will keep even reluctant readers turning the pages.”—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

“A madcap tale, drawn with strong kinetic lines and jolts of color. Young readers ages will be glad to know that Egg on the Loose is the inaugural title of a planned series”—The Wall Street Journal
