"Uncluttered illustrations with bold, contrasting colors make this a good group read-aloud, but the illustrations are so self-explanatory that young nonreaders will be able to understand the book without help. . .An excellent resource for those days when there’s 'nothing to do.'" 
— Kirkus Reviews

"Reiters uses bright graphics that frame each page like a poster; not only does this belong in every library, but it’s the perfect book for every home." 
— School Library Journal

 “Clever and cute from page to page. My toddler and me were certainly bored no more with Reiters’ delightful debut!”
