Review
"Another standout from the creators of a line of perennial favorites."--Publishers Weekly, starred review "Even after more than 35 years, [Carle's] style still radiates the same remarkable elemental beauty." --The New York Times Book Review "Carle's trademark paint and cut-out style and Martin's rhythmic and repetitive text full of animal observations engages little ones and keeps them turning the pages." --San Francisco Chronicle “Carles use of negative space and of sculptural line conveys not only the essence of each animal but also the energy of its movement. A fine read-aloud with a subtle, yet clear, message."--Booklist “The bright collage images and lilting language bring the animals to life on the page.”--School Library Journal
