Review

The art jumps off the pages, a fitting verb for a clever, clever book, alive in every way.
—Booklist (starred review)

Animal movements and sounds, along with the large, bright pictures and interesting compositions, make this an attractive choice to share with young audiences.
—School Library Journal

Attractive mixed-media illustrations, and a well-designed cover, utilize bright colors, textures and size contrasts to energize the spare shapes.
—Kirkus Reviews

The poster-like impact of the pictures, combined with Suzy's featherbrained adventure scheme, should strike a chord with young audiences.
—Publishers Weekly
