"The well-paced story exudes a charming silliness and invites participation. . . . The introduction of Spanish words and counting concepts along with the appealing art and offbeat story makes this a treat for classrooms and storytimes."—Booklist
 
"This slapstick tale seamlessly incorporates Spanish counting words as w ell as animal names. . . . The bright, cheerful cartoons, done in vibrant Southwestern hues, are set against white backgrounds. The characters faces are expressive and their actions humorously exaggerated."—School Library Journal
 
"The bright cartoon illustrations are well suited to this hilarious tale that provides a practical lesson about life, as well as bilingual counting and vocabulary skills."—Kirkus Reviews
