[M]adcap meta-textual fun. Fans of the trio's earlier power struggle will find this one equally entertaining.

Fenske returns to his three friends to tell a meta-tale filled with snark.deliver[s] dialogue dripping with humor. The bright illustrations use a highly detailed comic style which exaggerates expressions both facial and physical. There's no "message," but instead a focus on humorous delivery, encouraging story analysis. Educators and caregivers will surely be asked to "do the voices." Fenske continues to deliver stories deserving repeat reads, which help foster independent reading. A self-referental take on the picture book genre is guaranteed to entertain readers.
