"This read-aloud set is the perfect combination of a cleverly written and very creatively illustrated book...and narration provided...is spot-on." - Starred Review, School Library Journal
"Robertson Dean's spot-on narration and Caldecott Honor winner David Small's black and white drawings, with splashes of color here and there, are a perfect match in this humorous tale of misunderstanding." - School LIbrary Journal
