“Long . . . has a gift for conveying manic, obsessive personalities (he’s a master of the googly eye), and he has found a great match in a song of relentless, rote cheeriness. The Hokey Pokey will never look the same—and that’s a good thing.”—Publishers Weekly
“Children will giggle throughout, especially at the surprise ending, and will be singing and dancing along in seconds flat. A nice choice for school and home and a good choice for reluctant readers, full of energy, humor and fun.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Long’s energetic illustrations are done in watercolor and colored pencil, and their cartoonish style adds to the fun.”—School Library Journal
