New York Times

"Will delight emerging readers."
School Library Journal

"Charming."
Publisher's Weekly

This early reader is a pleasure.
Kirkus Reviews

The playful silliness of the book will appeal to emerging readers. Give this one to fans of Amelia Bedelia—Murilla Gorilla has the same sort of clueless charm.
