★ "Daywalt's text, set in a range of expressive fonts, combines the
heightened verbosity of vintage action comics with the swagger of
backyard scuffles, and Rex composes wildly dramatic battle scenes
against backdrops of thunderstorms, erupting volcanoes, and missile
launches. Forget reading aloud--this story demands bombastic,
full-volume performances." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
★ "While kids will snicker reading this on their own, it's perfect
for a guffawing share with younger sibs or buddy read, followed, of
course, by a rousing game of Rock Paper Scissors." - Bulletin of
the Center for Children's Books (starred review)
'The title and cover image are enough to get you giggling all on
their own. But the epic battles depicted by children's book
powerhouses Drew Daywalt and Adam Rex are sure to have us in
stitches." Best Books of the Month - Brightly
★ "The earnest gravity of the fighters' quests paired with the
mundane setting and melodramatic tone are perfectly balanced to
produce a brand of purely absurd, sidesplitting humor that kids
will gobble up." - Booklist (starred review)
★ "Cheeky humor and prideful asides will have listeners in
stitches. A closer-to-perfect pairing couldn't be imagined.
Everyone wins!" - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
★ "Laugh-out-loud funny and outrageous at times, this read-aloud
will have listeners jumping out of their seats. This is the sort of
story that makes children love to read." - School Library Journal
(starred review)
