Review Quotes
"Crazy costumes, silly glasses, and comical expressions keep the mood as light as the author's bouncy narration.... This volume is a great addition to classroom and library collections." --School Library Journal

Meanwhile, Gable's colorful and frequently zany illustrations support the text with humor and intriguing details. A surprisingly enjoyable introduction to plurals." --Booklist
