Love IS all you need. --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) The text has some of the wonderful puns from the movie. --School Library Journal Adults of a certain age will surely find it hard to take this walk down memory lane without hearing an internal soundtrack. --The Horn Book The artwork is appropriately bright and psychedelic, the dialogue replete with puns and wordplay.

The story is simple and brilliant. --Entertainment Today
