Publishers Weekly

In a starred review, "PW" wrote, "Crisp black words on spotless backgrounds do double-duty as concepts and physical objects. Raschka's restrained illustrations leave most everything to the shaped poems. He and Janeczko provide an uncluttered, meditative space for the picturesque language." Ages 6-10. "(Apr.)"
