"It's always fun to see a child break away from stultifying rules and this one does it with charmingly child-like style. Karas's drawings are full of spirit, just like Robert and Great-Gran Sadie." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Children will identify and sympathize with young Robert." -- Booklist
"Cari Best and G. Brian Karas understand that bond between young and old . . . they capture the spirit, the alienation and the redemption of a 5-year-old on an outing for, by and about grown-ups." -- The New York Times Book Review
"Best zeroes in on both the joys of childhood and the bewilderment of kids being initiated in the rituals of adult life." -- Starred, Publishers Weekly
