An Eisner Nominee for Best Publication for Early Readers A Junior Library Guild Selection Elizabeth Bird's A Fuse #8 Production 2016 Graphic Novels & Comics for Children Little Maverick Graphic Novel Reading List 2017 "Apes and armadillos! Magic! If you're looking for a good friendship tale, this entry into the TOON Books oeuvre will hit the spot." - Elizabeth Bird "The text perfectly captures the wildly creative narrative spirit in the play of imaginative children, who are not bound by logical rules and physical limitations." - Kirkus Reviews STARRED REVIEW "Sturm's deep story line gently teaches children the ways of friendship and compromise...VERDICT: An excellent addition." - School Library Journal STARRED REVIEW "Whichever character's side readers are on, they'll appreciate this pitch-perfect push-and-pull between disagreeing parties--and it only gets better (and funnier and more surprising) when Ape comes up with his own plan." - Horn Book Magazine "Captures the larger-than-life emotions and imaginations of these friends in crisply drafted cartoons as Machiavellian machinations give way to compromise." - Publishers Weekly "Sturm's large, vibrant panels are ideal for engaging young readers, and quirky details (is that an alligator in the sewer?) will ensure devoted contemplation." - Booklist "Simply but colorfully drawn with emotion-filled characters, young readers will thoroughly enjoy this cartoon story of Armadillo and Ape's friendship and where it takes them." - School Library Connection "If Ape and Armadillo can get along, then there's hope for all of humanity." - Judy Schachner, author of Skippyjon Jones "A fantastical story for children, every page rich in giggles and gorgeously illustrated." - Jules Feiffer "Kids will love this graphic novel that touches on a situation very familiar to kids: the bossy friend who wants everything done his or her way." - Mom Read It "[Sturm] makes the smart choice of stuffing a lot of comics in here: main storylines, marginalia and add-ons. Perceived value was a big deal for me as a kid -- not the in the price-point way, but that there were enough elements in a book for me to want to pick it up more than once." - The Comics Reporter

Reseña del editor:

How much fun would it be to take over the world? Armadillo is trying to come up with a plan for global domination, but with every new idea, being a bad guy seems a little less fun. Young readers will delight in star cartoonist James Sturm's tender depiction of how far a true friendship can take you.
