Editorial Reviews

The simple digital art, bold, with thick black outlines and vivid colors, expertly uses facial expressions and body language to support the text.” —Kirkus Reviews

“A step up from Mo Willems's Elephant and Piggie in reading level, Yoon's beginning reader is thoughtfully designed. . . . Cheerful, approachable, and thoughtfully created, this beginning reader will find a welcome home in public and school libraries.” —School Library Journal
