Reviews

Heidbreder's bouncy verse takes kids through the rituals of the day, while the mayhem and imagination of Maté’s energetic illustrations will leave them joyous with laughter ...Clear, cheerful colours, a sunshiny atmosphere and a pleasant, wicked ebullience make a perfect storytime choice. —The Toronto Star, November 20, 2005 by Deirdre Baker
