The charmingly breezy art depicts Izzy and other figures in thick marker-like lines, giving them a contrasting simplicity to both the complexity of the detailed city in its saturated '70s colors and the paint-like strokes and splatters of Izzy's artwork. Izzy's final piece... underscores the fun of the creative process... and the wry humor playing between text and art is a bonus. - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review) Rhythmic, declarative sentences and stripped-down characterizations and settings let the creative process and its rewards shine-and, via the artist's spattering, splattering hues, bring new meaning to the term 'flying colors.' - Publishers Weekly Izzy's happiness at creating something of his own and the simple but lively text make for a delightful and engaging read-aloud. A charming stroll through the imagination and a testament to the joys of creativity. - Kirkus Reviews
