Reception

Kirkus Reviews states "This is one of Keats' practically wordless picture books, and truth to tell there isn't much to the pictures either." and concludes "except on a cutesy level we thought Keats was above exploiting."[2] while Publishers Weekly finds "Now, as ever, Keats's sunny illustrations reflect the joy of discovery."[3]
