"If ever there was a children's book for adults only, this is the one: sweet and surreal, playfully Picasso, and full of cockeyed wisdom. I was charmed, and I'm giving the damn thing to everyone. I think you'll do the same. My advice is grab a copy immediately. Yesterday, if possible." —Stephen King
"From the fertile mind of Jack Bender comes another imaginative, delightful tale, full of characters more colorful than anyone you know in your own life. It is sophisticated and sweet, much like the man himself." —J.J. Abrams
"[Jack Bender's] in-your-face illustrations command attention... offer[ing] a potent mix of life's dark realities and the human drive to overcome." —The Boston Globe
"Bender's bawdy, whimsical, and honest artwork complements his weird and wonderful tales perfectly... Sometimes delightful and sometimes haunting, it is a book unlike any other in your library." —David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, creators of HBO's Game of Thrones
