Critic Reviews

“"Love's energetic ink-and-watercolor illustrations feature and ethnically diverse classroom with lots of whimsical details."”

"Love's richly realistic, abundantly detailed pencil, ink, and watercolor illustrations spill across the pages, picturing African American Jake and his multicultural class relishing the excitement and chaos of the day. Kids will want to bring in their own 100th-day collections."—Booklist
