"As always, Tania's illustrations are simply divine, and her characters completely charming, especially their facial expressions. Her fun with wordplay, onomatopoeia and descriptive language will provide much rich and fruitful discussion. And - oh my goodness! - the gorgeous endpapers, frontispiece, and the scrumptious textured cover elevate this to a work of real art." -Tania McCartney, Kids' Book Review
