Fagan crafts a zany tale that kids (in the spirit of Jacob's doublespeak) will want to read at least twice. Petricic[s] line art complements the story's humor." - - Publishers Weekly ". this book has high adventure and black-and-white line drawings interspersed throughout." - - School Library Journal "Well supplied with comical sketches from PetriÄić, plus a supporting cast. the episode fits into the series nicely in both breathless pacing and Roald Dahl-style zaniness .
it also fits nicely between the events of Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang and Jacob Two-Two and the Dinosaur . Not too-too bad." - - Kirkus Reviews.
