“These brief verse retellings are just right for you to share with your new reader.”–Parenting Magazine “The energy never flags, neither in Hoberman’s trademark bouncy rhythms nor in Emberley’s exuberant illustrations.”–Booklist “The content is as smart as the format, with fresh takes on old plots.”–Child Magazine “The brevity, repetition and rhyme help youngsters develop reading skills – all while enjoying the cozy interaction with another reader… should inspire frequent readings as well as a demand for the originals.”–Children’s Literature “Seldom has a potential play script been as delectably illustrated as this one.”–Horn Book “Even seasoned older readers will love the parody… Emberley’s clear comic- style pictures are hilarious.”–Booklist “Beginning readers will be encouraged by the early successes they are likely to meet within these pages, to go out and conquer the mountains of written word that lie ahead of them.”–The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books “An exuberant read-aloud collection. Emberley’s illustrations capture the liveliness of the poems beckoning readers to join in and relish the fun.”–Kirkus “A wonderful read-aloud experience for two voices… a truly delightful reading ensemble.”–School Library Journal
