"Delightful...perfect for St. Patty's Day storytelling". -- Children's Book Review Service
"This inspired Irish folktale dearly illustrates that taking the easy way out is sometimes more trouble than it's worth... dePaola's characteristic homespun style and round, childlike faces add plenty of zip to this silly story". -- Publishers Weekly
