Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
"The cheery aesthetic of Player (Paletero Man) colors that pop, crisply rendered characters who wear their hearts on their sleeves as they run hither and yon matches Wolitzer s warm, knowing voice page for page, and Player s varied digital compositions capture the visceral excitement of an action-packed day outside." Publishers Weekly

"An excellent portrayal of a kid with a certain world view having it very much shaken. It models a helpful reaction for processing new information, reminding readers that they can believe one thing one day and learn something that alters that the next . . . With the added draw of cartoon-like art, this is a one-of-a-kind and entertaining picture book for all kinds of readers." School Library Journal

"Wolitzer is a streamlined, effective storyteller in any format, and this sweet journey manages to pack a lot of messaging about friendship, uniqueness, and self-acceptance into its short pages . . . the reader cannot help but celebrate with the various Maxes as they discover that even with the same name, they re still one in a million." Booklist

"Whether a funny reflection on kids who have very common names, a rumination on the way everyone has unique traits that make them up, or a reminder that the world is much bigger than we think, this book is sure to please any kid that shares a name with one (or more) of their classmates." BCCBmehr
