“The illustrations and text in this book are both fantastic. I love the watercolor illustrations, particularly the style of the illustrated frames on the left-hand pages when each new actor in the story is introduced (i.e. "this is the seal who...") The parallel structure for much of the book (i.e. "this is the ...") is fun to read, and combined with the excellent rhyming keeps the story clipping right along and it's a fantastically enjoyable book to listen to being read aloud.”
