The myriad subjects of Hugo's paintings are quite amusing, and there are disguised works by Raphael, Hals, Van Gogh, and others in the museums. . . . Can spark a discussion about new ways to see everyday objects" — School Library Journal
"Pencil and digitally colored illustrations add whimsical details--like an art-stealing raccoon--to the wordplay. . . . Charming." — Booklist
