"Arcimboldo meets Mad Magazine as a monster that looks like a cross
between an octopus and a compost pile bargains with a young
narrator willing to sacrifice his prized soccer ball, and even his
new bike, rather than eat peas... there's a Seussian (or Clement
Clarke Moore) flavor to the rhymed text... the rollicking rhythms
and madcap, over-the-top art give this... [book] plenty of comic
energy." ―Kirkus Reviews
"The rhymes flow, begging to be read aloud. Faulkner has created a
truly disgusting monster with hairy feet and icky toenails, covered
with slimy vegetables, too big for the page. Children will clamor
to hear this one again and again." ―School Library Journal
