Hand-lettering and cheerful cartoon-like acrylics reinforce the childlike feel of the book, while the sensibilities are preschooler-perfect, from the mix of security and adventure to that ubiquitous high five.
—The Horn Book (starred review)
The repetitive text is ideal for new readers, and the cartoon paintings, though spare, provide plenty of room for imagination. An excellent choice to share at storytime.
—School Library Journal (starred review)
Patricelli once again proves she is a master of demonstrating for very young children the wonders of a good imagination.
