Reception

The magazine Kirkus Reviews compared the two best friends in this book series to James Marshall's George and Martha. The review complimented the cartoonish artwork as "expressive and hilarious", including the "black-and-white scratchy lines and washes" that highlight objects using spot color such as rainbow socks.[5]

Awards

This book received the Theodor Seuss Geisel Medal in 2011.[6]
