"When readers tire of comforting bedtime tales, they can revel in this trio of darkly funny vegetable comics from a French team making their U.S. debut." " Publishers Weekly" "The translation offers children both rich vocabulary and Gallic humor: "Bats. Right. An anguished murmur passes among the carrots." Barrier's ink drawings employ energetic, humorous line that recalls James Marshall in its ability to express broad emotion in just a few strokes... Delicious, nutritious absurdity." " Kirkus""
