"Sid the giant squid, with his many useful arms and huge, expressive eyes, searches San Francisco for the perfect job....its hilarious to see Sid's multitasking legs in handsome, computer-generated cartoon illustrations rendered by a seasoned DreamWorks story artist." - Bayviews, Association of Children's Librarians of Northern California
"A Children's Book that Entertains Adults Too...While the majority of preschoolers and early elementary-age children whom the book is directed at are probably not concerned that they will not find their dream job, the book does provide an empowering message that adults (particularly the recently college-educated, but jobless) will want to pass on to their children. And for the children themselves, the book provides an endearingly earnest squid they can root for." - suite101
