Review Quotes: "A surefire hit."--School Library Journal (Starred Review)

"Stevens's funny animals are delightfully expressive, while Anansi's spider-level perspectives provide generous close-ups of melons, a hippo, a warthog, et al. Good-spirited tomfoolery, with storytelling that reels along with the ease of a seasoned prankster."--Kirkus Reviews
