“Clever narration with puns, onomatopoeia, and alliteration support Sir Julian’s imagined self as a brave and noble knight …. Share this with adventurous picky eaters to help conquer their fears and feel victorious on a full tummy.” —BCCB
“Wicker turns the hero’s journey on its side and tickles it.” —Publishers Weekly
“Digital art effectively depicts Sir Julian’s wide range of emotions, from trepidation to terror to triumph … kids will enjoy comic nods like the overly dramatic depiction of the unfamiliar—and therefore—monstrous dinner.” —Kirkus
Praise for The Ugly Doodles:
"A hilarious ode to first attempts and revision results for every artist, writer, and maker." —Ame Dyckman, New York Times bestselling author
