THE CHILDREN'S BOOK REVIEW • AGES 9–12
“Highly Recommended.”
The review praised the creative problem solving, entertaining characters, humor, fun facts, figurative language, readable page design, and the book’s emphasis on close child-parent relationships. It also singled out the recurring cookies. Clara has declined to comment on whether that affected the recommendation.
