Industry Reviews "In a jovial, bouncy tone, Cronin crafts alliterative phrases beginning with each letter of the alphabet...Lewin's loose, thickly outlined watercolors keep readers in playful suspense along the way, dropping visual hints for eagle-eye observers." Publishers Weekly (08/22/2005)
"Once again, this author-illustrator team works in perfect harmony to create a colorful and funny story with highly expressive animals." School Library Journal (11/01/2005)
"Cronin's writing has a simply rhythm, as if the limits of the alphabet structure inspired her to brevity and purity. Lewin illustrates each short phrase literally, and while the pictures don't particularly invite close study, she can't be matched for charm. The book is slight, but smart and sweet." New York Times Book Review - Emily Jenkins (01/15/2006)
