Wenzel knows how to mix his media: there's a luxuriously whiskered cat, a sloth with a sweaterlike coating of moss, "an ape eating grapes,/ lounging like a queen," and a very big bear.' - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Onomatopoeia and action words abound, as does the rhythm and repetition, making this cumulative tale skip along. Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Debut author Bernstrom draw(s) in readers with lilting refrains and exuberant wordplay. Wenzel's wildly imaginative, brightly hued digital illustrations are a wonderfully goofy complement to the action. Bold, large print highlights the events as the snake slides, wiggles, and twists while the animals crinkle, munch, and buzz. The wonderful and colorful illustrations add to the playful joy of this book." - Newbery Honor winner Julius Lester "Bernstrom's spritely language rhythmically sings an exciting, laugh-filled, cumulative story. What more can a young reader ask for?" - National Book Award winner Jacqueline Woodson "What fun Daniel Bernstrom has with words! Living as we do in a society where the emphasis is on television, film, and videos, this book shows children how delightful language can be.
