Industry Reviews
"The chapter structure and decidedly Texan theme keep this from being another sweet story about babies and puppies. A howling good time."
Kirkus Reviews (03/01/2002)
"Kathi Appelt's drawling, swingy, storytelling voice, coupled with wonderful pictures, makes the whole event a treat."
Chicago Tribune Books - Mary Harris Russell (04/07/2002)
"Appelt's snappy text is a readaloud romp, and Howard's equally snappy watercolors provide an offbeat, slyly funny subtext. Uncluttered compositions, a clean pastel palette, solid drafting, and terrifically expressive faces combine with the conversational, cheeky text to make this one clever package."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Janice M. Del Negro (04/01/2002)
