Review
The tone of the text remains reassuring throughout and the mostly smiling characters on this stage are more amusing than frightening. (School Library Journal )
The totem-like monsters are so wonderfully imagined and endearingly silly that they may well defuse youngsters' fears about what's lurking under the bed. (Publishers Weekly )
Strong patterns and knockout colors in Harper's stylized art give this gallery of Wild Things an arresting look. (Kirkus Reviews )
