Booklist wrote: "Although the rhyme at times limps rather than lilts, there's a warmth to this that makes the whole more than the sum of its parts. Of course, one of the important parts is the art". School Library Journal wrote: "Charming illustrations and comfortable rhymes characterize this appealing bedtime book".[1]
