Abigail X. ★★★★★

Bought this for my film-obsessed friend's toddler and ended up reading it myself first. The references to over 200 movies are woven in so cleverly that I caught new ones on the second pass, and the illustrations hold up as real design, not just kid stuff.

John H. ★★★★★

My sister's kid now points at the Hitchcock page and yells "birds!" every single time, which is honestly the best endorsement I can give. The illustrations are gorgeous and the film references go way deeper than I expected for a kids' book.

Natalie ★★★★☆

I was a bit worried the film references would go over my child's head, but the illustrations are engaging enough that we both enjoy spotting the ones we know. My only small gripe is that a few of the directors chosen are a little obscure for casual readers.
