The Horn Book (starred review)
"Once the book has been read a few times and the mouse found, flip to the end pages for a new game. Match the patches on the endpapers with the related story images throughout the book. Verdict: A fun concept book for the very young with a seek-and-find element for slightly older, more savvy readers." —
School Library Journal
"The book calls for engagement on multiple levels: conveying basic concepts of color and counting (“Can you count the petals/ in the garden bed?), building language skills in the rhymes, and playing seek-and-find for the mouse on each spread. Even the travel patch–dotted endpapers spark activity. . . . Appealing [and] educational." —
