Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1?This amusing story begins with a trumpeting delivery man loudly taking a package to Filbert MacFee, who is in the hospital. The boy is frustrated because he wants to go home and the nurses say he must stay a little longer. When the box arrives with magic animal crackers inside, he eats one and changes into a rhino when it is time for a shot. Nurse Beluga gives him one anyway. When Filbert is taken to X-ray, he is so cold that he changes into a penguin. Further appropriate transformations follow until kindly Doctor Kebob decides that his patient is homesick and just needs to be released. This story is competently written and the pen-and-ink and watercolor cartoons are amusing. Good solid entertainment.?Anne Parker, Milton Public Library, MA

From Booklist
Ages 5^-8. Filbert MacFee loves the magical animal crackers he receives as a gift in the hospital. They seem to come in particularly handy when it's time for Nurse Beluga and her staff to poke and prod: it's tough to treat a boy who has turned into a rhino, a penguin, or a giraffe. Karim's goofy, fantastical story has sweet charm despite its somewhat tangled plotting, and it is a great vehicle for Truesdell's funny, irresistible artwork, which pictures animals and humans alike leaping and cavorting across the pages. Not an essential purchase, but fun all the same. Stephanie Zvirin
