A young boy stubs his toe, which leads to a sequence of silly events and one delicious ending.

Byous explores the domino theory-and they all fall down-to comic effect. . . .The action is continuous, the energy level is in the red zone, and the colors are strong (more pleasing than garish). . . .Byous is also a master of the motion line-almost everything here is jittery or zipping or crashing-and all the little symbols that help readers feel part of the action, like the lightning bolts and stars that attend the mashing of a toe into a chair leg early in the morning. An eye-tickling, cacophonous vocabulary builder. * Kirkus Reviews *
