ABOUT THIS BOOK

He tries to feed you to a cat, tapes you upside down to a chalkboard, and causes you to be very, very itchy. And when you don’t show up at the extrafancy party he’s throwing for himself, he can’t understand Why! Not only is Weasel totally sneaky—he just doesn’t get what a rat he is!

In this hilarious picture-book debut, a sneaky weasel finds that his tricks have left him with plenty of power, lots of fancy stuff, and absolutely no friends. Can this very bad weasel learn how to be good? (But, you know, not sickeningly good.) And aren’t we all at least a little bit Weasel-y? C’mon, you know you are. Just a little bit?


REVIEWS

Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, February 16, 2009:
"[Shaw's] gangly ink drawings are amplified with funny visual asides ..., while the quirky typography imbues the narration with a dry lilt."

Review, People Magazine, April 6, 2009:
"A varmint whose wiles have earned him stuff, but no friends learns to be good– "but, you know, not sickeningly good."
Starred Review, School Library Journal, June 2009:
"Sneaky Weasel has a wholesome moral mixed into abundant, sly humor ... It needs to be read and read again to ingest the bounty of visual jokes and lovable malice."
