REVIEWS AND PRAISE

“In this utterly delightful animated adaptation of Mike Thaler’s hilarious book...Jared Lee’s fanciful cartoonlike drawings are vividly animated, and atmospheric background music and monster growls balance Alexander Gould and Diana Canova’s sprightly narration ... Pure fun.” -- Booklist (starred review)

“Mike Thaler’s humorous ‘Black Lagoon’ series is always popular with youngsters, and this title is no exception. Jared Lee’s hilarious illustrations have been animated and augmented, and backed up with original music. A variety of voices add flavor to the production. This is not only a delightful introduction to the book, but librarians will welcome it as a great way to start the school year, introduce rules, and dispel myths about their own libraries.” -- Teresa Bateman, School Library Journal (starred review)

“A tailor-made hit for kids and librarians alike.” -- Video Librarian
