Praise

"Quick but savory fare, both sonic and visual, for pre- or newly independent readers."
Kirkus —
"These are recommended additions to any picture book collection, as they will delight parents and young children and catch the interest of newly independent readers."
School Library Journal —
"The book encourages creativity by asking readers to think about an ordinary object in new, uncommon ways. Furthermore, the conclusion of the story reminds children to eat fruit!"
