Praise
An Amazon Best Book of the Month
"This is a book for nerds, in the most praiseworthy sense of that statement. Bookish kiddos will delight in poring over each fact and anecdote in the pages…. The stories are highlighted through simple, colorful illustrations in dreamy watercolor and ink…. A fantastical feast for the brain and eyes." —SLJ
