The <b>cheerful, lively illustrations are endearing</b>; boldfaced typefaces of different sizes are incorporated playfully into the text. <b>Young readers needn’t feel sheepish about appreciating this sweet, entertaining story.</b>" --<i><b>Kirkus reviews<br /><br /></b></i>"As in the previous volume, the text is relatively short and, while written in prose, includes rhyming couplets from time to time, just for fun. . . . Oswald's illustrations are both <b>amusing and endearing</b>. <b>As a classroom read-aloud choice, this picture book is sure to elicit sleepover memories from young listeners.</b>" --<b><i>Booklist<br /><br /></i></b><i><br /></i>
