Review
"Robert's short, rhythmic text is as much fun to read as it is to hear. Alley's expertise shines in the watercolor-and-ink illustrations. . . . This will be best for sharing one-on-one or with small groups since many of the smiles and laughs are in the details."
--Kirkus Reviews "Roberts' rhythmic, rhyming text sets a cheerful tone and gives plenty of scope for the action and comedy in the appealing illustrations. . . Fun for reading aloud."--Booklist
"Roberts's rollicking verses are echoed in Alley's colorful ink, pen, and watercolor cartoons."--School Library Journal
