Praise for Snappsy the Alligator (Did Not Ask to Be in This Book)

PRAISE FOR SNAPPSY:

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

"Falatko's debut picture book is a truly laugh-out-loud, mischievous romp, made gleefully goofier by Miller's straight-laced, deadpan animal characters."
--Booklist, STARRED REVIEW!

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

"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

"Modern storytelling that never compromises, page after hilarious page."
--Bob Shea, author of Dinosaur vs. Bedtime

"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, author of Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich
