“… author Dan Bar-el has created a witty and clever follow-up to his previous book, Things Are Looking Up, Jack. … The text is simple enough for an early reader, but is smartly written, and laugh-out-loud funny …”
The Canadian Children’s Book News, summer, 2006
“… bubbling with fun and folk tales …. It’s short chapters are suitable for the intermediate reader, but that’s just cover: I’m sure it’s really designed for slightly crazy adults. Has your mind been tampered with (as the Fairy Godmother asked the Princess)? If not, don’t worry, read this and it will be, to hilarious effect.”
