Reviews

Library Media Connection

“While the engaging verse makes this book a lively read-aloud, it is the illustrations that bring the story to life. Clifton-Brown’s skillful use of color and texture add depth and humor to the story while the varied text placement adds interest.” —Library Media Connection

Booklist

“Clifton-Brown’s whimsical painted illustrations match the spirited nature of the text, particularly in her depiction of freckled sprite Annabelle.” —Booklist

School Library Journal

“Clifton-Brown’s use of color, texture, shadow, and spot-on facial expressions with a bit of mixed-media collage thrown in is a delightful partner to the text…. Hosford’s rhyming text is fun to read, and kids will enjoy hearing about a great idea gone wrong.” —School Library Journal
