Reception

Roger Sutton, of Horn Book Magazine , reviewed the book saying, "The humor is definitely juvenile and wears a little thin, but Scieszka has perfect pitch when it comes to this kind of thing ("Moral: He who smelt it, dealt it"), and Smith's portraits find the humanity behind the masks".^[1]
