The exaggerated humor and outlandish situations call to mind Roald Dahl, but the hilarity in this alliterative tour de force is all its own. Fine exercise for stretching linguistic muscles; great fun for reading aloud. - Kirkus, STARRED REVIEW

Readers encountering these delightfully peculiar stories for the first time will be impressed by just how far Atwood runs with the alliteration, and despite what the title suggests, these tongue-twisting tales are far better than tolerable—they’re truly tickling. - Publishers Weekly

The wide and varied vocabulary will enrich even the most erudite student; an excellent and unusual addition to most collections. - School Library Journal

I would highly recommend this book to children and adults alike. You are definitely in for a treat. - CM: Canadian Review of Materials
