The exaggerated humor and outlandish situations call to mind Roald
Dahl, but the hilarity in this alliterative tour de force is all
its own. Fine exercise for stretching linguistic muscles; great fun
for reading aloud.
*Kirkus, STARRED REVIEW*
Readers encountering these delightfully peculiar stories for the
first time will be impressed by just how far Atwood runs with the
alliteration, and despite what the title suggests, these
tongue-twisting tales are far better than tolerable—they’re truly
tickling.
*Publishers Weekly*
The wide and varied vocabulary will enrich even the most erudite
student; an excellent and unusual addition to most collections.
*School Library Journal*
I would highly recommend this book to children and adults alike.
You are definitely in for a treat.
