Reviews
"This is a tale to build visual literacy and set readers on the path to becoming longtime comics fans...An irresistible playdate." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Readers will enjoy their own seek-and-find game as they try to spot Clyde in his many ingenious and physics-defying hiding places from page to page as Monique dutifully searches high and low. Clearly written fonts, large-format panels, and accessible vocabulary will make this a gratifying choice for elementary-schoolers on their way to independent reading. A rustic and comical scene of backyard playtime." - Booklist
