Reviews

PRAISE FOR SNAPPSY THE ALLIGATOR (DID NOT ASK TO BE IN THIS BOOK): 

"A charming, irreverent tale for independent-minded tots."
—People Magazine

"This is the first book for both Falatko and Miller, and it’s an excellent one—Falatko’s writing nimbly zigs and zags around Miller’s bold, goofy cartoons." 
—Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW!

"More than merely meta, Snappsy is clearly a book, if not a protagonist, with bite." 
—Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW! 

"Falatko’s debut picture book is atruly laugh-out-loud, mischievous romp, made gleefully goofier by Miller’s straight-laced, deadpan animalcharacters."
—Booklist, STARRED REVIEW! 

"Filled with exploration-worthy detail… overdocumented youngsters may feel some sympathy for Snappsy, and audiences...will giggle at his battle with the overexcited narrator."
—BCCB, STARRED REVIEW!

"This clever debut will renew faith in the possibilities of fourth-wall breaking.”
—The New York Times 

"A silly, clever introduction to the idea of the unreliable narrator.”
—The Boston Globe 

"One of the funniest picture books of the year. . . . utterly irresistible." 
—BookPage

"Falatko’s debut book demonstrates the power of storytelling through words and pictures." 
—School Library Journal

"Distinguished by Falatko’s ability to sustain the tension at length; by Miller’s savory palette... and by the unvoiced suggestion that when fiction is working well, a character can take on a life of his or her own." 
—Horn Book Magazine

"This one goes to the top of the meta-heap. Snappsy the Alligator is a wonderful exploration of subjectivity... and a lot of fun."
—Shelf Awareness

"If a pesky narrator did THAT to ME, I'D bite 'em right on the—*AHEM* Great job with your creative conflict resolution, Snappsy!"
—Ame Dyckman, New York Times bestselling author of Wolfie the Bunny and Boy + Bot

"Adam Rex didn't ask to be on this book either. But despite being a mean man who generally dislikes debut authors he is a fan of Snappsy the Alligator."
—Adam Rex, New York Times bestselling author of Schools First Day of School

"Modern storytelling that never compromises, page after hilarious page." 
—Bob Shea, author of Ballet Cat
