Reviews

School Library Journal

“This picture book poem by former US Poet Laureate Límon captures the simplicity and playfulness of the creature. The narrative and images complement each other as they present one day in the life of the title character. . . Animal lovers will fully embrace this tale.”—School Library Journal
