From Publishers Weekly
Lozo Brown has just moved next dooran event that causes King's timid young narrator no end of anxiety. He envisions his new neighbor as not only a giant but a bully, and, hiding in his room, imagines himself meeting dire fates at Lozo's hands. When the dreaded Lozo is encountered, he provesnot surprisinglyto be a harmless, even fun-loving fellow, and the two boys begin what promises to be a rewarding friendship. Children will undoubtedly identify with the fears and anxieties that form the basis of this book, and will appreciate the humor in the narrator's imagination-run-wild. Schwartz does a terrific job of bringing these fears to life. She depicts the imaginary Lozo as an oversize, grotesque figurea portrayal that contrasts humorously with the clean-cut innocence the real-life Lozo displays. The book is badly flawed, however, by a rhyming text that is flat-footed, awkwardly metered and often painfully forced. Ages 3-8.

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2 In an outrageous rhymed narration, a five-year-old boy describes his terrifying new neighbor. Lozo is "bigger than a tree house./ He's taller than a post./ The ground shakes where he walks on it/ That's what scares me most." Suspense builds as Lozo's reputation grows, until our hero is sent to meet him, and discoversguess whata brand-new friend. Poetry in the spirit of Prelutsky paired with zany colorful illustrations make this a lively candidate for story time or independent readers. What fun! Carolyn Noah, Worcester Public Library, Mass.
