Reviews

Raschka takes a common experience and personalizes it by employing the visual perspective of a young child...the page design, along with the loose, amiable watercolor-and-gouache illustrations, elevates the book. Vibrant and full of energy, the pictures fully engage the reader as a participant in the story. -- Booklist Raschka's loose line and bright watercolor-and-gouache edge-to-edge illustrations are lively and sweet, perfectly suited to his subject. A delightfully important adventure for a very small person. -- Kirkus Reviews Raschka's clever visual perspective takes this outing from solid to superb...a delightful, somewhat Mr. Rogers-esque introduction and celebration of a small but significant life activity. -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
