Sure to have kids laughing out loud... Plenty of silliness and action will make this a sure hit with early chapter book and graphic novel readers. — School Library Journal

Over-the-top zaniness, exquisitely eye-popping colors, and quickly plotted chapters. This world should have broad appeal among both the Dav Pilkey crowd and readers who relish a zippy, funny diversion... Exuberantly silly. — Kirkus Reviews

Younger readers are sure to enjoy Banana Fox's shenanigans. — Publishers Weekly

Kochalka's trademark is off-the-wall cartoon humor, and his latest is no exception... the wacky plot and absurd humor echo the imaginative games kids play, and the candy-bright, boldly outlined figures that practically bounce off the page are tailor-made for early-elementary-school comics fans. — Booklist
