"The Barkingtons are a happy family with a slightly mad air --and their story is individual and fun, with the Flavia Gag illustrations accenting the individuality. Five children, the oldest 11 and the youngest at the creeping stage, a mother who has time for a game of cards -- a daddy who is keeper at the zoo, and you have the setup for family adventures in granny''s big brownstone house."--Kirkus
