Golio and Young's final product is one with undeniable appeal...the entire package will indeed bring a smile.
Booklist, *starred review*

Golio and Young create a lively and poetic homage to Charlie Chaplin...Young's ink and torn paper collage-work...communicates the exaggerated theatricality of silent film, as well as Chaplin's iconic style and underlying complexity.
Publisher's Weekly, *starred review*

Children meet Chaplin in this intimate biography of the iconic silent-film comedian, whose movies, humor, and story grow ever more distant to each generation of readers.
Kirkus Reviews

This biography of an icon of the silent film will charm its readers with the exquisite, colorful ink and torn-paper collage images and its lyrical text.
New York Journal of Books

An outstanding tribute to a genuine icon of the entertainment industry...fascinating and thoroughly inspirational in every way.
