Praise for this book


"...it's Robins' lively, clever illustrations that pull the humor out of the hat and animate the story.... It doesn't matter that young kids will not be familiar with the original source; they will simply be delighted with the rhyming text and the reactions to his humorous acts." --Kirkus Reviews
