About the Book

★★★THE REVIEWS ARE IN!★★★

“Wax and pleasingly shaded colored pencil art on tawny pages features deftly expressive animals. . . . The characters’ nonchalant rapport is well conveyed, with text rendered in a clean serif font of varying scale for added visual oomph. Clever humor and a fresh take on a seemingly familiar scene make this a widely appealing, expertly paced, and wonderfully silly read-aloud. Unexpected and delightfully absurd.”
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Working well as both a read-aloud and for one-to-one experiences, this purchase is for collections needing wry humor and a funny treat for all to enjoy.”
School Library Journal

“An amusing kind of logic brings humor to the book’s peaceful conclusion.”
Publishers Weekly

“Zip Zap Wickety Wack is sure to quickly become a go-to title for any adults faced with kids struggling to share.”
Booklist

“Never has a primer about farm animal sounds gone off the rails in such a delightfully engaging way.”
