    “This is my favorite kid-friendly chapter book. I read it with B when he was 5 - it was endearing and hilarious. We still quote it years later…did the earth just shift? Must’ve been Johannes.”

    “The book has a wooden cover and the audiobook is read by Ethan Hawke (he does all the voices and it is charming!) and the story itself is a pure delight!”

    “Found this one at the thrift and bought it for my daughter. Ended up reading it to her, and absolutely love the writing, message, and illustrations. A great read for any age!”

    “Not necessarily a kids book, but a great book to read with your kids and talk about the ideas in it. It’s really funny and moving.”
