Reviews

Simple sentences... describe the action, while Hillenbrand's illustrations

wonderfully animate the text. The artwork, digitally manipulated pencil with water-based coloring, has a lovely softness; the characters, with their plumpness and simplicity, are extremely appealing. —Kirkus Reviews

The repetition, ample onomatopoeia, and tender tone of the spare text… combined with [the] renderings of this gentle pair of pals, create a sunny welcome to the season. —Publishers Weekly

With plenty of repeated ‘sound’ words… the story is fun to read aloud and lends itself to audience participation.

—Booklist

Hillenbrand’s sense of humor is gentle yet emphatic, perfect for young children. —The Horn Book
