Reviews

Opening with birthday balloons and splattered chocolate batter, Hillenbrand combines candy-colored egg tempera paintings with sepia-toned line drawings in jaunty double-page spreads. Judiciously sprinkled with patterns, the compositions are full but never busy. —Kirkus Reviews
 
Rendered in ink and egg tempera, Hillenbrand's illustrations spill off the spreads… Full-bodied figures decked out in '70s paisleys and prints, a flower-powered VW driven by the matriarch, and high-energy compositions make this a surefire crowd pleaser.—School Library Journal
