Wordplay, witty descriptions and visual jokes abound.” ―The Washington Post "Swanson and Behr have created a gem with this hilarious elementary-level read with graphic novel tendencies." ―The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "This clever, funny, delightful book is just what this crazy world needs. The surprising and inventive interaction between text and illustration shows that two brains are, indeed, better than one--especially when they belong to Matthew Swanson and Robbi Behr." ―Andrea Beaty, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Ada Twist Scientist Praise for Everywhere, Wonder: "A sweeping exploration of imagination, appreciation, and possibility."―Publishers Weekly “Swanson's fanciful and whimsical exploration of the meeting of imagination and story is strengthened by the jewel-toned colors and sheer of Behr's illustrations.” ―Kirkus Reviews "A tribute to the power of imagination awaiting those who are open to the marvels that surround them." ―School Library Journal Praise for Babies Ruin Everything: "Babies Ruin Everything speaks to that older brother or sister, telling them, simply: 'I hear you. This is hard' This is a wonderfully empathetic and funny book that doesn't talk down to older siblings and their real struggles having their world turned upside down.
