“Her [Rozelaar’s] friendly illustrations are brightly colored and
nicely textured, depicting sweater-clad cats with large, round
heads and stubby limbs. The anthropomorphic cats’ expressive faces
evince a wide range of emotions, including amazement, suspicion,
and anger. This lesson in cooperation goes down easy.” — Kirkus
