From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 4-- From codfish chowder simmering with salt pork ribbons to crack: ling red-hot lobsters to steamed clams galloping down gullets, Westcott's watercolors and Rodgers and Hammerstein's song are sure to make readers mighty glad they came. The original lyrics reflect the century-old dialect of Carousel, the musical from which they originate. But the lighthearted cartoon illustrations are packed with 20th-century ethnically mixed families engaged in a delightful blend of modern yet timeless activities. All ages are present and everyone pitches in with the cooking, play, and clean-up. Each page is brightly bordered with beach objects or menu ingredients, packed with all the festivities detailed in the lyrics, and becomes an educational experience for those who have never attended such an outing. A handwritten invitation, complete with menu, invites readers to join in. A book in which regional culture is vividly revealed by its magic, dialect, food, and festivities. --Claudia Cooper, Ft. Stockton Independent School District, TX

From Publishers Weekly
Musical comedy aficionados will quickly recognize this spirited Rodgers and Hammerstein tune from Carousel, presented here in picture book form. Westcott's brightly bordered pages, bustling with beachside activity, track the elaborate preparations for the feast, from chowder to lobsters and clams cooked in seaweed on to the blueberry pie and watermelon finale. Throughout a group of multiracial revelers may be seen in the background happily sunbathing, fishing, swimming, playing in the sand, toasting marshmallows, singing around a bonfire--and, of course, eating. Despite the sprightly energy of the cartoony illustrations, however, the transition from lyrics to text is uneasy, and something seems lost in the process. Though slightly dated, the words, when sung, still retain their original color and vigor but make for a stilted read-aloud. Music is included. Ages 4-8.
