Advance Praise for NOPE by Drew Sheneman:"Sheneman makes
a solid children’s book debut with this
memorable parent-child pair—the baby bird’s sense of drama may remind some readers of
Mo Willems’s beguilingly histrionic Pigeon—and his crisp digital illustrations and playful sense of composition
never miss a comic beat."

Publishers Weekly"Full of humor and action."

Kirkus Reviews
"This could serve as a broad hint to graduates at least aseffectively as it provides reassurance for young children about to start daycare or preschool."
