review 1: Strong storytime potential. The rhymes are effortless, the pictures bold and discussable. (12/19/14)I used this in Saturday Stories storytime today. Good not great. An audience age 2-6 listened to it and paid attention, but they did not interact much with my questions about it or the actions I brought out of it. I connected it to the rhyme it references, Hickory Dickory Dock, and I liked having such an obvious nursery rhyme connection to use. It made the rhyme seem more modern and valuable to the parents.
