“Hilarious text, lively rebuses, and wacky illustrations . . . “ - Biblio.com

“The pattern work[s] well, the rebus element will encourage interaction, and the computer generated illustrations are similar to the work seen in films like ‘Monsters, Inc.’  A spiral-bound hit!”
- Association of Children’s Librarians
   of Northern California

  “. . . bold colors, glossy paper, and eye-zapping digital artwork will draw children and parents to this picture book . . . kids old enough to enjoy rebuses will get a kick out of chiming in on the parts of the story represented in pictures.” - Booklist

“ . . . Kids will enjoy the repetitive text, which uses the familiar structure of ‘This Is the House That Jack Built’ to humorous effect. Benfanti's digital illustrations are filled with bold colors and unusual perspectives . . . The book's unique design-smaller pages within each spread-adds to the visual appeal.” - School Library Journal

"This is a colorful, exciting breakfast adventure featuring a baby, a bear and a series of mishaps . . . The eye-catching graphics are fabulous, and the use of different sized pages and heavy, shiny paper give this book a distinctly different look . . . wonderful for story hour use."  - The Shy Librarian
