--School Library Journal
andquot;Singerand#39;s story crackles with humor and attitude, its driving rhythms making it an infectious read-aloud. Avriland#39;s busy illustrations, using pastel chalk over a pencil outline, display a range of bright colors and have a slightly dreamy cast, as if they came right out of Sadieand#39;s head. So can a girl rough it in ruffles? Silly question.andquot;
