“With its large, brightly colored cartoonish illustrations and disgustingly eccentric recipes, this would be a fun read aloud … Kids could write or draw their own disgusting recipes!”
—Youth Services Book Review

“With its underlying theme of dealing gently with parental mental health and representation of LGBTQI+ families, [Saturday is Pancake Day] is ideal for kids who love to experiment in the kitchen and young readers. A fun read from start to finish … an original and unreservedly recommended pick for family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library picture book collections.”
—Midwest Book Review

“Children aged 4–8 will delight in the gross-out humor of meals such as Good Morning Green Ice Cream (pickles, spinach, mayonnaise and ice cream), and they’ll become caught up in the fox family’s warm-hearted culinary bedlam … Green and Gray-Barnett extend their passion for inclusive representation by addressing mental health through the gentle portrayal of Henry’s struggle, as well as seamlessly incorporating same-sex parents into the story as a natural element, without unnecessary emphasis. … A fun, bouncy book.”
—Anica Boulanger-Mashberg, Books+Publishing

“This sweet book is the perfect literary start to a weekend morning.”
—Carly Tagen-Dye, People

“Despite the fun and silliness of creating the weirdest flavor combinations, there is a serious side to this story … A gentle reminder that sometimes even grown-ups need some time to themselves to regather and regroup.”
—The Bottom Shelf

“The story is a simple one which makes it effective, I feel. The same sex couple involved in an everyday story was really nice to read as it is important that diverse families are represented in all aspects of family life.”

“This is a sweet and silly picture book about a creative and caring family. There’s lots of onomatopoeia and the kitchen drama makes it a fun read aloud for kids aged 2+.”
