This graphic novel is great for readers ages 6-10 who are just beginning their graphic novel journey!“Simple yet energetic dialogue by Boukarim (Hello Goodbye Little Island) combines with deliciously bright artwork from Lopez (LankyBox: Epic Adventure!), making the events of this goofy early reader graphic novel offering practically bounce off the page. It’s a warm and madcap meditation on teamwork, patience, and new experiences told through a comestible escapade starring cartoonish pseudo-siblings finding common ground in their love for chickpea paste.”  - Publisher's Weekly“A mix of simple comedic ingredients with a few twists as garnish makes for a funny, fast read.” - Kirkus Reviews“Lopez's expressive, witty artwork is full of comedic, slapstick energy and really complements the characters and the overall story.
