"[The] poetry is rhythmic and rolling, each word finessed to fit
the pulse of [hooks's] verse. The lilt of the language is
contagious, begging to be read aloud... Raschka's mixed media
illustrations are an energetic dream... Buy it for the boys and all
those who love them."
---Bulletin for the Center of Children's Books "[A] pleasing and
affirmative visual and textual interpretation of what it means to
be a little boy: be boy buzz, indeed."
---Kirkus Reviews
"A wonderful collaboration, this book is an exuberant as the boys
it describes."---School Library Journal
"The lapsit audience will want to join in the buzz, point at the
pages, and act out the movements and the loving
embrace."---Booklist
