★ “A charmer that’s sure to garner its protagonist a devoted following—much to his chagrin.”
—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
"A humorous story featuring an antisocial yet charming protagonist who simply wants some alone time, this book will encourage children to think outside the box while also reassuring more-introverted readers that there is no shame in having quiet time to ourselves."
–Booklist
"Wolf’s hyperbolic personality is reflected in the characters’ exaggerated facial features. Supporting characters (who are depicted with a variety of shapes, sizes, ages, and skin tones) are unnamed; instead, they’re called as Wolf sees them: “bossy boy,” “eager girl,” “jolly hiker.” These piquant stories are all hard edges, blunted somewhat by the pencil and watercolor illustrations’ soft lines and gentle coloring, reminiscent in tone and style to William Steig’s classic works. . . . With their wry humor, these books would also work as read-alouds in classrooms, libraries, and homes."
—The Horn Book
