But it turns out to be a good thing the snozzcumber pieces are on the table, because they’re a perfect place to hide when another giant with the sweet, winning name of the Bloodbottler stomps into the cave.

Richard Brody of The New Yorker stating that it "plays like a forced march of fun, a mandatory strain of magic and a prescribed dose of poetry, like a movie ready-made for screening in classrooms when a teacher is absent."
