Reviews
**STARRED REVIEW** "The tightly rendered illustrations, which usually appear in twos or three against white backgrounds, have a refreshing emotional reticence; the kids' happiness is shown as matter-of-fact and grounded rather than euphoric or manic. And then there are the descriptions themselves, eloquent in their unfussiness...Schwartz isn't the first to try a compendium of this sort, but she sets a new benchmark." * Publishers Weekly *
**STARRED REVIEW** "It is a book chock-full of fun-what more could one want?" * Kirkus Reviews *
It's all very, very sweet, but with the occasional offbeat example that will satisfy out-of-the-box thinkers. * The Horn Book Magazine *
**STARRED REVIEW** "A fun, engaging read." * School Library Journal *
Schwartz's distinctive pictures in brilliant colors would make anyone happy...a magical romp through the senses and delights of being human. * Booklist *
