Praise for Tumble:
"What a journey this is. While the text is simple...the life forms that the plant encounters are complex. ...Deceptively simple yet wondrous."--Kirkus, starred review
"Simple prose and spare scenes successfully convey desert ecology through the experiences of a humble 'tumble.'" --Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Bergstrom's story is told in short, rhyming couplets paired with rich, earthy illustrations. ...Dusted with a hint of whimsy, this playful primer on desert life is perfect for all libraries."--School Library Journey, starred review
