Reviews"Egans understated, hilarious travelogue continues as Dodsworth and his duck pal explore Rome, Italy."- Kirkus Reviews, Dodsworth in London "As usual, Egan's wit is as sharp as the fashion sense of the assorted animals populating his droll ink-and-watercolor illustrations. . . .[a] talented duck, Egan demonstrates, has cross-cultural appeal." -- Horn Book Magazine "Accessible storytelling and likable characters warrant repeat readings." -- Publisher's Weekly "Egan's short, pithy sentences may appear appropriate for beginning readers, but the vocabulary and deadpan humor give it away as a book for adults to enjoy with children. The charming drawings, which include a menagerie of supporting characters and famous London landmarks, are drawn in muted colors and have a 1940s feel."-- School Library Journal Dodsworth in Paris "The deadpan text is matched by the amusing square watercolors, which feature snippets of Paris. An out-of-the-ordinary offering for new readers that moves them to new places, both literally and literarily."- Booklist " Kids are sure to enjoy the zany humor and identify with the duck's playful nature. Some French words ("beret," "debonair," "magnifique," "bonjour," "monsieur") are an interesting addition to this easy reader while others are easily understood through the illustrations and context."- School Library Journal Dodsworth in New York "Egan keeps the hijinks low-key, preferring long pauses and slow burns to nutty slapstick...Dodsworth [is] the perfect screwball comedy foil..." - Publishers Weekly , Starred "Known for his quirky books, Egan does himself proud here." - Booklist Serious Farm "Egan's offbeat, understated humor is used to good effect in the highly amusing text and art, and it's the skillful interplay between the two that makes this book so darn funny."- Horn Book , starred review "Egan's deadpan voice delivers maximum comic value."- Publishers Weekly , starred review, "Egans understated, hilarious travelogue continues as Dodsworth and his duck pal explore Rome, Italy."
