Editorial Reviews

“With a tone that veers between crass and cautionary, the nonstop absurdities and blatant hyperbole will easily find an audience with middle-graders.” —Booklist

“Andy Griffiths kicks up the silliness a few notches in this collection of ridiculous stories featuring zombie kittens, rocket stealing ants, and, of course, killer koalas from outer space.” —TucsonCitizen.com

“Plenty of kids who will laugh their heads off…” —Publishers Weekly

“The genius of this subversive little tome lies in its perfect combination of zany subject matter that will appeal to a broad spectrum of readers and a format that make it easily accessible to beginning and struggling readers.” —Kirkus, starred review
