âMaster of meta Underwoodâs witty narrative and Marksâ cute, colored-pencil illustrations come together to create a comical struggle for control between a narrator and their rebellious creation. Highly entertaining and laugh-out-loud funny.â âKirkus
âBeing a narrator should be straightforward . . . But what happens when the protagonist refuses to play along? . . . Readers will gleefully embrace the anarchy that Underwoodâs supremely silly repartee has unleashed.â âPublishers Weekly
âExcellent . . . [a] cute, cute book.â âSchool Library Connection
âKid-friendly . . . visually appealing . . . cheeky . . . adorable . . . Underwoodâs latest meta tale creatively explains storytelling fundamentals, slyly defining plot, setting, and characters as the panda upends the norms. Now, thanks to the pandaâs shenanigans, readers will be âstory experts,â too.â âThe Horn Book
âThis read-aloud thrives on its quirky self-awareness, and itâs an entertaining introduction to humorous meta-textuality for young kids. . . . Listeners who take to this may want to check out Underwoodâs series starring Cat, starting with Here Comes the Easter Cat.â âBCCB
âA hilarious, inventive, laughter-inducing meta tale. . . . A joyful read aloud.â âSchool Library Journal, The Classroom Bookshelf blog
