A classic childhood guessing game gets an elegant treatment from newcomer Gibbs in this introduction to colors and animals… Defined by joyful scribbled outlines, the exuberant, friendly animal portraits dazzle.
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

These wonderful, inky loops and tangles add wild-haired authenticity to the watercolor animals, which appear against flat habitat scenes. The spy hole steals the show, however, creating an active reading experience right up until the final page.
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

This creative book would work equally well in storytimes or one-on-one.
