Book Review: Stop That Stew!"Mahy's writing style flows smoothly, and the repetitive text will bolster new readers' confidence, and Rigby's comical, full-color artwork reinforces the action. Young readers will chuckle when they spot the pot of stew on the rooftop long before Mr. Winkle does. Rigby sprinkles in details like a vanity license plate. With the exception of one spread, the text and illustrations appear on opposite pages, with plenty of white space surrounding the type. Mahy's storytelling and Rigby's humorous artwork merge into a cohesive, entertaining easy-reader."
