reviews
“Verdict: Great for a participatory story time or children on their own, this book belongs in every library.” (School Library Journal)
“The minimal text… will pull in reluctant readers and also make for a good read-aloud for the very young. The colorful artwork uses a winning combination of accurate details, sly humor, and expressive, comical facial expressions.” (Kirkus)
