"Bean’s artwork evokes old-time Hanna-Barbera cartoons, and the string of improbable Rube Goldberg–esque devices and resulting mishaps keeps interest high. The social message—more prominent than in the first book—adds a bit more gravitas, but there’s plenty of goofiness here, too; Muk Muk’s spiel in defense of the Fort-a-Potty, reminiscent of infomercials, is especially charming. The forecast is promising for this latest in this absurdly funny series."—KirkusBrett Bean (he/him) is the author-illustrator of the graphic-novel series Zoo Patrol Squad with Penguin Workshop, and the illustrator of the Battle Bugs (Scholastic) and Beasts of Olympus (Workshop) series.
