Review
"Very funny and very sensible."—School Library Journal, Starred Review
"A rare matching of humor and information."—Booklist, Starred Review
"Tomie dePaola's The Quicksand Book . . . has been dusted off and brightened up for a new generation. The information is, er, solid; the frame story is funny; and a considerable bonus is provided in the directions for 'How to Make Your Own Quicksand.'"—The Horn Book
