From School Library Journal:

PreS. This attempt to extend the well-known nursery rhyme falls flat. The rhymes are forced, and actions are dictated by the need for a rhyming verse rather than as a logical plot development. The pictures are even worse than the poorly written text. The characters are corny and lifeless. The little boy (the dog in the original) is just plain creepy looking with his tiny arms and oversized head. An iridescent coating has been put over some of the white and silver parts of the pictures, giving them a sheen similar to pastry with an egg wash. If you are looking for a story that builds on a favorite rhyme, try Robin Muller's Row, Row, Row Your Boat (Firefly, 1995) or Keith Baker's Big Fat Hen (Harcourt, 1994).?Dawn Ibey, Vancouver Public Library, Canada
