Rezension:
"An earnest and unabashed celebration of youthful entrepreneurial zeal that feels very of the moment." --Publishers Weekly
"Yan uses vivid, pastel colors . . . Extreme angles in several of the illustrations effectively convey a sense of perpetual motion and heighten the story s tension, drawing readers in. An especially effective, glitter-strewn spread portrays Frank looming large and seemingly running off the page while Betty looks on, stricken at the ensuing mess . . . Witherspoon s rollicking text never holds back, replete with amusing phrases such as sweet cinnamon biscuits, bouncing biscuits, and busted biscuits. As Betty says, Being busy is a great way to be. Young readers are sure to agree." --Kirkus reviews
"Yan s illustrations feature appealing cartoonish characters with oversized heads and large eyes, complementing the ebullient text that s interspersed with many idiosyncratic expressions involving biscuits. This is a fun and high-spirited story fo r the fans of Fancy Nancy, Pinkalicious, or Freckleface Strawberry. VERDICT A book that will undoubtedly find its way to many collections owing to the popularity of its author and the sweetness of its protagonist." --School Library Journal
