'Ms. Muller's pictures strike a satisfying balance between humour and refinement.'
– Wall Street Journal
'This lovely, graceful treatment of the Grimm's classic folktale of four elderly animals will be a great update to library collections� It's hard to overstate the charm of Muller's illustrations. The characters have so much personality and yet retain their animal qualities: the dog stops to scratch his ear with his hind leg, the cat pokes curiously at a tiny snail, and the rooster puffs up his little wings when he gets ready to crow. Wonderful details on every page will make this a version children return to again and again.'
– Youth Services Book Review, STARRED REVIEW
