Reviews
“Hoberman's riotous tale is spun like a Suessian fable... and Marla Frazee complements the poem's changing rhythm and plays up the slapstick.”
–New York Times Book Review
“Marla Frazee's whimsical drawings (are) a wonderful evocation of the joyous bedlam of a seven-sibling household. The hilarious artwork is matched on every page by equally funny verse...”
–Newsweek
“The illustrations are a delight. A pleasure for parent and child.”
–Horn Book
“This talented artist sets the tale in such a cheerfully frenetic, invitingly cluterred household that kids of all culinary leanings will long to move right in, or, at the very least, visit often.”
–Publishers Weekly
“The Seven Silly Eaters is a sweetie of a book that lovingly depicts the ongoing commotion and genuine affection of family life.”
