"Saturday mornings are special, and this would be a great read on one of those weekend days. The front cover highlights an exciting and inviting scene filled with enthusiasm; it will draw young readers to pick this selection. I love the storytelling machine - what fun! The vocabulary is appropriate for this age group. The typeface is easy to read and the use of font color and background work well. This will be a fun read for 4-to7-year-olds. I love the "Did you find?" activity - this will further engage readers..."

"Extremely creative design, especially when the reader learns how it was all created. The whimsical art is stunning and tells a fun story. The front cover is particularly pleasing to the eye and inviting with all the colors and moving parts."

"Mr. Paterson has brought new meaning to the expression "crafting a story"! This book and its illustrations have so much to absorb. Youngsters will enjoy the plethora of objects in each illustration. Seeing how Mr. Paterson created the illustrations was amazing as well as awe-inspiring."
