His books are simple, not simplistic they are clever, witty, various, and surprising.вЂќ - Boston Globe Like Brown, Willems has his finger on the pulse of what interests children most. вЂњMo Willems is to our era what Margaret Wise Brown was a half century agoвЂ¦. вЂњA hilariously fractured fairy taleвЂ¦.Top-notch for group storytimeвЂќ - Kirkus Reviews вЂњOn every page, the text winks broadly at readers, first pointing to and then playing with conventions of folklore, narrative voice, literary foreshadowing, and plain old common sense.вЂќ - Horn Book (starred review) Readers of all ages will find much to chuckle about in this wacky retelling.вЂќ - School Library Journal (starred review) вЂњThis is pure Mo Willems, from the many visual gags in the cleanly drawn illustrations and the tight, tongue-in-cheek story line to the endpapers. вЂњWith a sense of irony (and humor) as sharp as this dinosaur trioвЂ™s talons, WillemsвЂ™s retelling is a sure bet for audiences who have moved beyond more gently witty fare.вЂќ - Publishers Weekly (starred review) вЂњWillems has delivered his very best work so far-this is a tasty treat for kids already fluent with the original, and for any fan of funny, and everybody will want to read it again and again and again.вЂќ - Booklist (starred review)
