★ “Ideal as a read-aloud, this should have wide appeal: lap-sit toddlers will enjoy the sing-song verses, preschoolers will focus on the shape and color concepts, kindergartners will learn simple ways to draw animals, and emergent readers will appreciate the predictable text.” —Booklist, Starred Review
★ “It all makes for an utterly delightful, visually rich package. . . A must-have for every young reader’s bookshelf.” —Book Page, Starred Review
“Higgins’s companion to Circle Under Berry . . . invites an encore exploration of shapes, colors, counting, and creatures with a healthy dose of rhythmic fun and conceptual play. . . . Higgins’s simple but effective collaged and digitally assembled illustrations focus attention on the objects at hand. Subsequent rereadings will reinforce the message that there’s never simply one way to look at things.” —The Horn Book
“Higgins guides readers to engage with the pictures and see how they visually represent the singsong, descriptive words. . . . Combined, words and pictures deliver a pleasing, interactive game of a read sure to inspire conversation and laughter from the readers who encounter this picture book. . . . Will quickly become a read-aloud favorite.” —Kirkus Reviews
