From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-- A dreamy, contemplative book that considers the fascinating concept of change. What Blos offers here is a brief, pared - down, 12 - line poem. ``A seed, a flower./ A minute, an hour./ A puppy, a dog./ A tadpole, a frog.'' Not all of the transformations are neat or predictable. A bee changes into a swarm when other bees arrive on the scene. And a feather does not become a hat but rather a decoration when it is added to one. Sensitive, impressionistic, pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations contribute to the book's appeal. Each double-page spread shows both the transformation suggested by the preceding page and anticipates the one to come. Finally, at the back of the book, the entire poem appears in the conventional stanza format. There is certainly no lack of picture books dealing with such concepts; nor is there any shortage of stories in rhyme. Nonetheless, the gentle charm of this title should ensure : it a wide audience among small fry, parents, and teachers. --Ellen D. Warwick, Robbins Library, Arlington, MA

From Kirkus Reviews
In a 12-line poem that continues in the pattern set in the eponymous first two lines, Blos moves from the literal to the less obvious--either conceptual or poetic--concluding with ``A thought, a poem./A house, a home!'' A page turn between the first and second half of each line turns the verse into an amusing guessing game, especially with the addition of Poppel's vibrant, freely rendered watercolors. This would make an attractive participatory interlude at storytime. (Picture book. 4-7) -- Copyright ©1992, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
