"Bright and colorful digital illustrations, large type, frequent speech bubbles and a familiar story make this accessible to emerging readers....This series promises to fill a niche for [new readers.] Keep flapping, Eva!" -- Kirkus

"Appealing visuals (the text and art are set against the lined pages of Eva's diary), punny dialogue, a few pratfalls, and Eva's unflagging enthusiasm make for lively reading." -- Publishers Weekly

"This early chapter book is a nice step between first readers and series such as Barbara Parks's 'Junie B. Jones' and Mary Pope Osborne's 'Magic Tree House.'" -- School Library Journal
