Quotes
MacDonald retells this folktale with her usual verve and astute ear for what pleases a read-aloud audience. Terry's Acrylic paintings make a good match...capture a world where anything is possible.
Kirkus
In typical MacDonald style, the story is perfectly paced and effectively patterned for a foolproof readaloud. Terry's jovial acrylic paintings are loud and unsubtle but stylish.
The Bulletin for the Center for Children's Books, March 30, 2007
...good cadence and pacing...much here to delight listeners...Terry's plucky acrylic illustrations heighten the humor...perfectly suited to a storytelling performance.
School Library Journal
Eye-popping comic illustrations make this fresh version of an old folktale into a rollicking romp....This fine paen to cleverness adn persistence is given extra zest by Terry's acrylic illustrations, which are as colorful as sparkling gems.
