From School Library Journal:
The colorful and whimsical illustrations are quite good, reminiscent of the work of Diane deGroat and Marc Simont.
From Booklist:
Quickly paced and high-spirited, the engaging story is illustrated by cheerful illustrations with bright colors, busy patterns, and lively details that offer plenty for nonreaders to look at while the story is read aloud.
