Reviews

"The clearer reproductions of the original art are vibrant and luminous." -- The Horn Book

"Each word has been carefully chosen and the simplicity of the language is quite deceptive." -- School Library Journal

"A timeless classic that continues to win over the hearts of children. The simple, rhythmic text and expressive illustrations are just as appealing today as they were when I was a child." 10 Must-Have Books for 2-Year-Olds -- Brightly
