Raves and Reviews
* "Tavis’s explosion-filled illustrations, a smartly paced combination of snapshot vignettes and full spreads, portray Fluffy’s travails with comic deftness, assuring readers that her effect on others is all in good, albeit cracked, fun. And it’s a tribute to the authors’ storytelling skills that audiences will also be rooting for Fluffy’s happiness...Readers newly flexing their sense of transgressive humor should get a real bang out of this."
– Publishers Weekly, starred review
* "A seriously funny and delightfully nonlethal outing."
– Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW
