Kirkus Reviews

The story is funny overall, with a humorous premise, personable characters, and some comical lines, but the ending is flat; the idiom with which the story concludes is likely to go over young kids’ heads. However, readers will giggle at and savor the very colorful photographed dioramas filled with witty, inventive details composed of common household objects, gadgets, and other items that create “realistic” backgrounds.
