Harrison uses simple and enjoyable writing that young children and adults can appreciate together in this “I Like to Read” series addition. Feagan’s illustrations are warm and charming, with adorable mouse characters that bring the story to life and make each page fun to explore. . . . The book shares an easy but meaningful message about patience, hard work, and the joy of watching something grow. A pleasant and appealing book for library collections.
—School Library Journal
The cumulative, sometimes rhyming text builds delightfully with each page turn, and Harrison includes many examples for burgeoning readers to hone their phonics skills. . . Feagan’s warm digital illustrations are a genuine asset, rendered in earthy creams and harvest golds with vivid pops and shades of orange and green. . . . A warmly illustrated, phonics-rich gem.
