--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.
