"charming"-Kirkus Reviews
"A proposal to improve the world"-Westfälische Nachrichten
"interesting not just in its story or its message, but also in how it delivers that message. The colors and backgrounds have a rich sense of texture, unlike the majority of children's books."-ForeWord Clarion Reviews
"beautiful"-Geizkragen Website
"A creative bedtime story, which is also suitable for stressed adults. [...] In the bustle of the city, the animals seize the moment and become aware of how beautiful life can be without stress and hustle."-Designers in Action
"sets out to demonstrate what can happen when we're true to ourselves, when we seize our day, when we live in the present, when we actually feel and enjoy the weather, when we are spontaneous, when we break from routine, when we defy expectation, and how these rather small acts of joy can inspire others"-Amazon Customer Review from the U.S.
