"Bank on fun with this one-it'll rope readers in." -Kirkus Reviews "Barnett works wonders with a limited vocabulary, packing the stories with humor, tension-and admonishments of Jack. Pizzoli's scruffy-edged, emotive cartoons are just as funny, and he carries the comedy into drawing lessons and closing endpapers." -Publishers Weekly, starred review "Jack is a rule-proof bundle of bunny-eared id who does as he pleases, and therein lies his considerable charm." -BCCB, starred review "This series title will be a surefire hit with readers who love Mo Willems's Elephant & Piggie books." -School Library Journal
