This is a very wonderful story! It shows children that there is more than one way to solve a problem and that they need to keep trying even if they fail the first time. Doorknob is a very charming and loyal figment of SerWacki's active imagination and I look forward to his next creation!

A thoroughly charming story with absolutely wonderful illustration--lots of fun for young readers!!

As an uncle times six, I'm always on the lookout for kids' books that will delight the kids AND be entertaining for my brothers and their wives to read many times over. I give this book my absolute highest rating. The story is a whole lot of fun, the artwork is superior, but most notably, there's lots of sophisticated and subtle humor woven in that is sure to please the grownup who gets to share it with the kids. Enough, in fact, that it takes a few passes to catch it all! I suspect, too, that the more subtle aspects of humor will reveal themselves gradually over a period of years to the kids who (I think inevitably) adopt it as a favorite. This is truly a wonderful book.

We met the author and illustrator at a book fair in our city. He was very nice and funny like his book! He illustrated a picture right in front of us and is quite extraordinary. The book is very cute and Doorknob the Rabbit has to figure out how to get rid of bugs who have invaded his house. Enjoy!

The art in this whimsical story is superb, filled with clever visual jokes and energy. The drawings highlight the cacophonous story about a mild-mannered critter who just wants to enjoy a quiet snooze, only to discover that his home is not his castle. It has a great interactive feature too where the kids can "splat" the bugs!
