Praise for YOU WILL BE MY FRIEND!:

"I click with this book. Brown has pushed his style past its smoother beginnings...into a  homemade hybrid of pencil and construction paper and even wood. Who knows how he does it, really? The appeal of YOU WILL BE MY FRIEND! is as deep a mystery as friendship, but I'm not interested in delving into its mysteries. I just want to take it to lunch." (Daniel Handler in The New York Times).
