Booklist
“The prose is simple and peppy (lots of exlamation points), and boldly colored artwork in Carlson’s familiar style portrays the animal characters engaged in recongnizable home and school situations and activities. Carlson approaches the psych-yourself-into-feeling-and-doing-better concept in a child-friendly way, and it is tough to resist Frog’s huge, toothy grin.”
—Booklist
Kirkus Reviews
“Carlson makes an undeniable case for grins over grumps. Carlson knows how to make dry humor work for three-year-olds.”
—Kirkus Reviews
The Horn Book Guide
“The breezy, conversational text is appropriate for the subject. Vigorous, cartoonlike illustrations featuring colorful animal characters in familiar situations (being the new kid in school, coping with a poor test result, etc.) will have readers laughing, and of course, smiling.”
—The Horn Book Guide
