From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-- Jasper the cat is going to the toyshop with his birthday money to select a new toy. The uncluttered, playful watercolor illustrations are quite effective in making each choice look appealing; large type and lots of white space add to the attractive format. Preschoolers will enjoy the shopping excursion and giving their own ideas on how to spend birthday money. The British terms "toyshop" and "clockwork mouse" will not be in listeners' vocabulary, but the meaning is clear in the illustration. A pleasant offering for toddler story hours. --Janie Schomberg, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
