Reception

edit

Kirkus Book Reviews wrote: "Laura Ingalls Wilder Award–recipient and perennial favorite Carle revisits the counting-book format with his unmistakable blocky, painted collages. All of his well-known components are present: a list of animals—many of them recognizable from earlier works—repeated words and phrases, bright friendly art on lots of white background, and a noisemaker at the end"[1] and "While not Carle’s best work, it still has those saturated colors that have such appeal."[1]
