"""All kinds of things can happen in a 24-hour period. A series of common-sense-challenged characters engage in some odd behaviors that range from merely messy through weird to downright grotesque.... Young readers will have fun examining these vignettes many times to find new and amusing elements. Amusing, entertaining nonsense.""-- ""Kirkus Reviews, November 2014"" ""New Yorker cartoonist Chast presents a zany, hour-by-hour look at the activities of 23 different kids...the off-the-wall mayhem of Chast's illustrations is what makes this quirky offering stand out...good, ridiculous fun, and future fans of alternative comic artists will eat this one right up.""-- ""School Library Journal, January 2015"" ""There are only so many hours in a day, but Chast (Marco Goes to School) rules them all as she checks in on 23 geeky kids who each put a highly idiosyncratic stamp on a single, 60-minute interval.... As in Chast's brilliant work for the New Yorker, anxiety and happiness are never far from one another in these pages.""-- ""Publishers Weekly, October 2014"""
