This beginner-friendly graphic novel does a fantastic job of introducing young readers to paneling and dialogue bubbles, preparing them for more advanced sequential storytelling. A great addition to classrooms and libraries, this SEL-focused book will charm readers and leave them wanting more adventures with Wiggler.
—School Library Journal
Vandorn clearly but never heavy-handedly communicates themes of making mistakes and repairing relationships, in large part due to the inviting contours of Wiggler’s world. . . . Snappy, accessible dialogue will further encourage hesitant readers to have a bit of fun while taking in the story, maybe even coming away with a few jokes of their own to tell. Goofy and good-hearted, a simple tale playfully told.
—Kirkus Reviews
Readers will enjoy likable characters who experience relatable emotions like being playful, frustrated, confused, and apologetic. While older readers will get the jokes, it’s also a great introduction to new readers about puns and wordplay that may be enhanced by an experienced reader’s explanations.
