"It is an enchanting evening to remember (and a fine reminder that even a primary concept can get dressed up.)"—Kirkus Reviews
"The rhymes are sweet and the words are perfect for toddlers and Ms. Mortensen excels at capturing toddler attention and even keeping adults entertained (while reading again and again, I might add). Highly recommended for babies and toddlers."—The Children's Book Review
