PRAISE FOR SNAPPSY THE ALLIGATOR (DID NOT ASK TO BE IN THIS BOOK):
A charming, irreverent tale for independent-minded tots.
-People Magazine
This is the first book for both Falatko and Miller, and it's an excellent one-Falatko's writing nimbly zigs and zags around Miller's bold, goofy cartoons.
-Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW!
More than merely meta, Snappsy is clearly a book, if not a protagonist, with bite.
-Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW!
Falatko's debut picture book is atruly laugh-out-loud, mischievous romp, made gleefully goofier by Miller's straight-laced, deadpan animalcharacters.
-Booklist, STARRED REVIEW!
Filled with exploration-worthy detail... overdocumented youngsters may feel some sympathy for Snappsy, and audiences...will giggle at his battle with the overexcited narrator.
-BCCB, STARRED REVIEW!
This clever debut will renew faith in the possibilities of fourth-wall breaking.
-The New York Times
A silly, clever introduction to the idea of the unreliable narrator.
-The Boston Globe
One of the funniest picture books of the year. . . . utterly irresistible.
-BookPage
Falatko's debut book demonstrates the power of storytelling through words and pictures.
-School Library Journal
Distinguished by Falatko's ability to sustain the tension at length; by Miller's savory palette... and by the unvoiced suggestion that when fiction is working well, a character can take on a life of his or her own.
-Horn Book Magazine
This one goes to the top of the meta-heap. Snappsy the Alligator is a wonderful exploration of subjectivity... and a lot of fun.
-Shelf Awareness
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 and Boy + Bot
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, New York Times bestselling author of Schools First Day of School
Modern storytelling that never compromises, page after hilarious page.
