There is a lesson here -- about friendship, and sharing -- but the book never feels plodding or pedantic. Its rhythms are as surprising as its vivid hues, full of small but powerful subversions of kid-lit logic: The animals show up in bunches, not page by page... What's more, there are no grown-ups here. The animals are peers: They create their own society, and resolve their own conflict. Which may be why the lesson just goes down like the truth.<b> - The New York Times Book Review</b><p>**Corr's neon colors and joyous folk-naive artwork set this Russian folktale aglow....The animal household embodies cooperation and peaceful resolution, and Corr's artwork mesmerizes.-- Publishers Weekly Starred Review<b> - Publishers Weekly</b><p>** Well-told, charmingly illustrated, and with a positive portrayal of inclusiveness and creating community, this noteworthy picture book is sure to delight.--Booklist Starred Review<b> - Booklist</b><p>**Readers will delight in the striking illustrations and captivating characters, while text repetition makes for a wonderful read-aloud.
