Book Reviews:
"The poems are funny and original and the art eclectic, weird, wise and wonderful."
- Elizabeth Bird, a Fuse 8 Production, a blog of School Library Journal
"Kammeraad mixes photographic collages and cartoon images with poems, comics, and stories in this visually and verbally eccentric collection...It’s a Dada-esque mix of silliness, wordplay, and outright nonsense."
- Publishers Weekly
