review 1: Tired of being cute, lovable book characters, Knuckle and Potty leave the book pages to confront their author and illustrator to demand more adventurous story lines and less adorable drawings. When that fails, they head to Happy World to try to solve things themselves, only to discover that Happy World isn't exactly as happy as they expected. This meta book is goofy, fun, and appealing, which is no surprise since the author also writes the popular Johnny Mutton series. The book contains words, pictures, comic strips, and lots of color, and the characters use words such as dude and awesome (and even make a snide dig at Dr. Seuss). This book will be particularly great for reluctant readers and boys.(Puget Sound Council review)
review 2: This one appealed to me as
... more being kinda offbeat. I brought it home and after a few days offered to read it aloud to my boys. They both said they'd already read it (one twice!) but wanted to hear it anyway. So, a total hit with the kids. I don't rank it higher because I don't care much for the art but the premise of taking charge and writing your own story is awesome.Although we didn't catalog it graphic novel, this one borders on it for sure. Some paragraphs/pages of text but lots of comic format too. less

Cute book. I'd recommend it to anyone who is young at heart and appreciates silly.

Inviting children to think about author's point of views is useful.
