Review Quotes

"Craftily engineered . . . .The chatty narrative and the sheer imaginative fun of the transformations create a charming guessing game." --Publishers Weekly

"Very clever and just the thing for kids who want something to grab their interest and their little fingers . . . . A fun and interesting concept. If you have an audience who's careful with their board books or the budget to replace frequently, definitely add this one." --jeanlittlelibrary.blogspot.com

"A page-turner for the toddler set." --Kirkus Reviews

"A unique counting book that invites readers to take a closer look at simple objects . . . . an ideal option for storytimes featuring guessing or predicting games." --Brooke Newberry, slj.com

"A 2016 Cybils Award Finalist . . . . The pages are easily manipulated by little hands, and while younger readers will enjoy marveling at the transformation, older children can be led in games of, 'What else could this shape be?'" --Ami Jones, amomssparetime.blogspot.com

"Plays with perceptions, assumptions, and predictions. Awfully pertinent stuff in 2016, wouldn't you say? You can never teach it too early." --Elizabeth Bird, blogs.slj.com
