"[Napoleon's] disappearance adds an unexpected element of mystery
to the narrative, which conveys a certain amount of information
along with a vibrant attitude toward learning, an appreciation for
the children's varied personalities, and a wry sense of humor."
--Booklist "As always, the story is full of spot-on dialogue that
captures every enthusiastic remark or bashful comment added by
these winning second graders. It combines with a compelling story
structure that is not only highly readable, but entertainingly
informative."
--Kirkus "A great choice for beginning chapter-book readers."
--School Library Journal "With apt jokes, recognizable classroom
curriculum, and comfortably familiar characters, not to mention sly
jabs at censorship, Lowry's Gooney Bird and her skeletal adventures
will satisfy readers who appreciate a humerus tale."
--Bulletin for the Center of Children's Books --
