I dunno, man, this author/illustrator combo is probably the best thing to happen to modern children's books and that's that on that. They're so freaking funny and bizarre, and this book is a great (and surprisingly dark) example of their capabilities together. I was reading this aloud to my son last night and my spouse even got super into it and was commenting on it, if that tells you anything about how much all-ages appeal I think Barnett & Klassen have together.
