To Activate Space Portal, Lift Here

[A] meta intergalactic romp. . . . The brightly colored, heavily black-outlined characters take center stage in Portis’s eye-catching and varied compositions, as do their playful personalities. . . . The clever premise stands up to repeat readings—power up this interactive adventure for out-of-this-world storytimes.
—The Horn Book (starred review)

[An] enticing picture book. . . . Inventively designed . . . . Interactive intergalactic fun, with a stellar lesson in interplanetary interpersonal relations.
—Booklist (starred review)

Will generate a lot of giggles. . . . Thickly outlined in black, the bold illustrations will show well to a large storytime. Portis provides extreme close-ups that give the artwork a surreal, Cubist feeling. . . .Zany, out-of-this-world fun.
—Kirkus Reviews

[A] speculative metafictional romp. . . .Portis (A New Green Day) has cooked up something wonderfully weird and slyly relevant—both an interactive experience and a comic reminder that perspective is relative.
