Review Quotes
"Cleary's verse sets the tone, clearly setting out to offer entertainment as well as instruction....Gable creates energetic, comical scenes based on a few words; a cast of madcap, dressed-animal characters; and some unusual color combinations. A useful, amusing introduction." --Booklist
