Review

"[T]he highlight of this book was the incredible, fascinatingly grotesque collage illustrations that are at once intense and playful. These images are just so unique, I couldn't stop looking at them. Really, it almost felt like an art book. ... fun-to-read." - Dr. Amitha Jagannath Knight

Top 10 Books of 2011 "Striking bilingual exploration of a little girl's aversion to all things wiggly works effortlessly on every level ... a humorous, yet gross, index of bugs ... museum-quality, collage-like artwork; this title raises the bar for all children's picture books" - ForeWord Reviews Aug. 2011

"Delightful book ... humorous rhyming text ... bright illustrations" - Ana Rodriguez for School Library Journal 2012

"... A great read with fantastic illustrations. The rhyming text introduces a rich vocabulary of words to describe the creatures in the story and the young girl's reaction to them ... Delightful book!" - A. Carr, Goodreads.com

"... A funny tale about a little girl and what bugs her. The illustrations are colorful and edgy--and full of surprises" - Amy Stewart, Midvale Valley Journal
