"A companion to the resplendent Papá's Magical Water-Jug Clock, Trejo and Kinkz's latest collaboration amuses with similar madcap humor and shenanigans, focusing on [a] supportive mother-son relationship....the miniature scamp's hijinks and wry observations bring the laughs to the forefront." --Kirkus Reviews
"Illustrator Kinkz returns with vivid and engaging watercolor illustrations including lots of detailed plants with facial expressions and handwritten dialogue. Overall, a vibrant portrait of a mother-son bond that mostly delivers on its upbeat message." --Booklist
