Patrick McDonnell’s “A Perfectly Messed Up Story” is cited in their list of “wink-wink, nudge-nudge” style kids books. They describe “A Perfectly Messed Up Story” as “boundry-breeching” and that it “unfolds on classically metafictional terrain.” The NYTimes also noted that the story line will “tickle even the littlest postmodernist.” Here is a link to the full article at NYTimes.com or order your own copy today from MUTTS.com.
