“The artwork is cheerful and bright with high-contrast colors, depicting wonderfully unusual animals like rooks, rhinos, crabs, koalas, tapirs, skinks, and quails, all interacting with joy . . . But perhaps the truest charm of this book lies in its language, rich with assonance, alliteration, and internal and end rhymes and liltingly cadenced with read-aloud rhythm” – Booklist
“Yin debuts with a colorful reminder about inclusion . . . Recommended for early childhood collections, this brisk and funny rhyming story will be a hit at story times” – The School Library Journal
“Yin’s precisely cadenced rhymes and artful alliteration are a joy to read. Verhoeff’s colorful images, which carry the weight of the denouement, also show the animals interacting and problem solving as part of a vibrant community” – Mombian
