Review:

"This funny, lovely board book should become a favorite of kids and caregivers alike; it strikes just the right note of charm and absurdity and never talks down to its audience." --Kirkus Reviews, starred

"Kids will find a colorful cast of characters in this book that capitaiizes on repetitive phrasing that bolsters early literacy skills. From a "disco dancing filly" to "elegant chimpanzees"  who are as silly as they are dapper, the comparisons made in this book are as creative as ever." --Red Tricycle

"Kate Endle's tactile, bright and engaging collage elevate the repeated refrain with a parade of animals caught in incongrous moments." --ParentMap
