Reviews
“The deadpan delivery and squiggly, almost drunken illustrations are back, and fans who loved the first will enjoy this.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“The text tells a simple story but the brightly colored cartoon illustrations provide laugh-out-loud humor. Fans of Harry Allard and Dav Pilkey should enjoy this title.” ―School Library Journal
“Overall, a great read for the whole family with an air of mystery perfect for this time of year. Old Tom will captivate you once again as he tries to prove the best things in life are free and should all belong to him with nary a toe lifted!” ―Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers
