A read-aloud, sing-along delight." -- Kirkus Reviews "Bright, clear, colorful. This lively new version of a story hour standard will appeal to young preschoolers as well as to older kids on the cusp of reading." -- Booklist "A fine contribution to illustrated picture books based on children's songs." -- The Horn Book "Collage pictures that pop off the pages using bright colors and interesting textures.
