Review
"Rosemary Wells has done it: she has developed books that drive a real wedge into the existing block of unnotable, over-cute, didactic baby-toddler tomes...Most notable is the blending of concept exploration and story." --Booklist
"These baby books books display a rare wit and intelligence and never patronize their audience...irresistible." --Harpers
