...Marveltown, as chronicled in Bruce McCall's first children's book, is the place to be.…Despite the joyful fantasy world McCall has invented, where red biplanes pull sky-skiers through the clouds, I cannot believe that 5- or 6-year-olds will totally appreciate the humor. This book is so comically sophisticated, and sprinkled with such subtle details, that younger readers are likely to find it confusing. That said, for older children the zaniness should be enthralling.
...Marveltown made me laugh out loud. Newfangled and old-fashioned all at the same time, it's full of the best joys of childhood and adulthood. This is an absolutely wonderful book.
...Marveltown is another great ride through what has to be the most funnest visual imagination in any town! Bruce McCall has been making me laugh since he invented the "Bulgemobiles" for National Lampoon way back when. I love everything he does.
