The rhythmic, onomatopoeic text dances across exuberant watercolors with lots of movement. This celebration of a child's agency in choosing a means of artistic expression strikes just the right note. --Kirkus

A delightful offering for reading aloud, especially during music-themed storytimes.
--School Library Journal
