Praise

"Caldecott Honor artist Pinkney puts a sprightly spin on this classic tale with resplendent artwork that comically conveys the title character's energy." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A gorgeously illustrated version of the classic tale, this time with a brown skinned protagonist....Pinkney's backgrounds (forests, snow drifts, stone walls) are dappled with light....A beautiful new rendering." —Kirkus Reviews
