"Maynor's writing is flavored with wit and wrapped in moral subtleties. Even for the anti-confectionary crowd, a believable, relatable story that avoids a saccharine conclusion."-- Kirkus, starred review " Though Maynor plays it all for laughs, the story should spark conversations about scarcity mindset."-- Publishers Weekly "In this funny glimpse of political losses and gains, Alice finds out what it's like to hold all the cards--especially when the cards are lollipops. This cheerful picture book is an entertaining read and has only one agenda--fun."-- School Library Journal "Maynor's humorous morality tale is accompanied by Player's vibrant, rainbow-hued bubblegum-pop illustrations, with readers following Alice's dilemma as she tries to remain fair but thoughtful and kind, as well. A unique story about decision-making and sharing that showcases the sweet and salty consequences of winning big."-- Booklist.
