    Praise

    Review, Booklist, June, 2010:
    “A great choice for an active storytime.”

    Review, Kids lit. Menesha Library.org, June 24, 2010:
    “Purely infectious!”

    Review, Kirkus Reviews, May 1, 2010:
    “This one begs to be read aloud in a music or city-sounds storytime. But be forewarned—anything even remotely drum-like will not be safe for the rest of the day.”
