Delightfully deadpan entertainment.
The New York Times

Mr. Diffee s artwork all elegant, retro lines and jaunty patches of pastel and wisecracking dialogue give these creamy pages a wonderful sense of buoyancy. . . . [A] humorous and humane read-aloud for children ages 4-8.
The Wall Street Journal

Diffee, a New Yorker cartoonist, sets a deceptively bucolic scene for this preposterous showdown that makes for a raucous read-aloud.
The Washington Post

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)

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

Diffee offers a book that will delight children and caregivers alike. . . .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

The moral is delivered in a way that will make young readers think about the merits of sharing, rather than feel like they\'re getting a lecture. Zip Zap Wickety Wack is sure to quickly become a go-to title for any adults faced with kids struggling to share.
Booklist

Lovely colored-pencil illustrations add warmth to Zip Zap Wickety Wack\'s wonderfully witty case for finding compromise. Never has a primer about farm animal sounds gone off the rails in such a delightfully engaging way.
