"The mix of the everyday and the magical from the child's viewpoint captures the longing, mystery, and joy." Booklist
"Holt's affectionate story of awaiting a new baby touches on the many myths associated with this joyous event." Publishers Weekly, starred review
"It's obvious that Holt carries with her a deft hand at capturing the voices of children of every age. In this book, Iris's anticipation is keenly felt. You even come to believe that she would actually have grown and changed enough by the end to await Gregory's further growth with a kind of child-like acceptance. No small feat in a book of only twenty-nine pages."
