The story succeeds as an underdog saves-the-day text to inspire young readers. -- Youth Services Book Review (Starred review)
The story inspires kids to think out of the box, shows that science is anything but boring, and, perhaps, will have them wanting to invent something themselves. -- Bookworm for Kids
This is a great story to introduce imagination, creation, and science. The colors used on the cover and inside pages are eye-catching and should pull little ones into the pages. If used to introduce the aspect of inventing and creating, and if you examine the various creations that the children make, it can be a very effective teaching tool. Also, a good book to open the topic of creativity and imagination. -- Pick a Good Book
