"Caldecott Honor artist Pinkney puts a sprightly spin on this
classic tale with resplendent artwork that comically conveys the
title character's energy."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A gorgeously illustrated version of the classic tale, this time
with a brown skinned protagonist....Pinkney's backgrounds (forests,
snow drifts, stone walls) are dappled with light....A beautiful new
rendering."--Kirkus Reviews
