I dig the rhyme. I dig the illustrations - which are a bit collage/bricolage. It's funky.

Cat's Pajamas! What a blast from the past! I'm pretty sure when I was six I had this ridiculously fun board book memorized! So much fun for reading aloud.

A quick, rhyming read for restless crowds.

Abby loved it. I think it's kind of weird, but has a good rhythm to it.
