Media Reviews
a vibrant modern retelling of a classic Russian folk tale...Rendered in electric hues...like a delectable candy box... There is a lesson here - about friendship, and sharing - but the book never feels plodding or pedantic. Its rhythms are as surprising as its vivid hues, full of small but powerful subversions of kid-lit logic: The animals show up in bunches, not page by page... What's more, there are no grown-ups here. The animals are peers: They create their own society, and resolve their own conflict. Which may be why the lesson just goes down like the truth. * The New York Times Book Review *
** Corr's neon colors and joyous folk-naive artwork set this Russian folktale aglow....The animal household embodies cooperation and peaceful resolution, and Corr's artwork mesmerizes. -- Publishers Weekly Starred Review * Publishers Weekly *
** Well-told, charmingly illustrated, and with a positive portrayal of inclusiveness and creating community, this noteworthy picture book is sure to delight. --Booklist Starred Review * Booklist *
** Readers will delight in the striking illustrations and captivating characters, while text repetition makes for a wonderful read-aloud. Corr's artwork is a feast for the eyes. Dazzling. Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW * Kirkus Reviews *
This modest tale is somewhat reminiscent of The Mitten and offers a lesson on the marvels of what can be accomplished when creatures work together. A colorful addition for storytimes and one-on-one sharing. --School Library Journal * School Library Journal *
It first caught my eye because of the illustrations. They are amazing. The neon colors, the details, the style, the compositions. I'm obsessed! * Design Mom *
