Reviews

With its extremely short text, this book is perfect for the earliest readers while still delivering a full, engaging story. . . . The simple yet expressive illustrations, set against white backgrounds, bring charm and energy to the story. A delightful and relatable read, this book is a must-have for libraries and a sure hit with young readers. --School Library Journal (starred review) Both the artwork and the minimal, deliciously onomatopoeia-laden text beautifully convey action, humor, and emotion, from Elena's initial optimism to her slowly mounting frustration, short-lived rage, and, finally, satisfaction at a job well done. . . . A brilliantly crafted tale in which persistence pays off. --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
