Reviews

"Good fun."—School Library Journal

"Young readers will feel a note of pleasing apprehension. . . but never enough to stir terror. The repetitions may even provoke readers to chime in and Brown has provided the rules for a game. . . that kids can play on their own."—Kirkus Reviews

"Brown takes this game of tag and turns it into something quite delightful. The watercolor art is top-notch, with every character humorously distinctive. His depiction of Grandma is a particularly fine mixture of menace and sly good humor. A fun read-aloud."—Booklist
