Reviews
* "New readers will eat this up."--Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review "well designed both for sharing and independent reading."--The Horn Book "The charming pen-and-ink watercolors are cleanly placed on white backgrounds and lend an extra helping of humor to the scenario at hand. Brand-new readers, particularly of the finicky variety, should enjoy this one."--Booklist "The illustrations are priceless . . . Young readers will identify with [Pete's] dilemma."--School Library Journal
