Reviews
"Kate DiCamillo and Chris Van Dusen strike gold with this charming addition to the Mercy Watson story-verse. Van Dusen's personality-filled illustrations perfectly complement the writing, making for a very enjoyable read-aloud."

"DiCamillo’s quirky, eccentric characters speak in flowery sentiments and employ charming wordplay. Along with Van Dusen’s well-matched illustrations, there’s a sweet, retro innocence reminiscent of McCloskey’s classic ‘Homer Price’."
~ Kirkus Reviews
"No one offers early readers better quality prose than DiCamillo, who never allows the constrictions of this format to deter her from excellent writing. Series illustrator Van Dusen’s artwork is a treat, as always, reflecting the quirkiness of DiCamillo’s unique cast of characters."
