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!"
