"...Klassen's retro-looking illustrations of a posse of cool cats,
in pale pink tuxedos and poodle skirts, are fun to look at. Lights
dimly glow in the background from elegant French casements and
alley tenements alike, as though the black, white and gray cats had
the free run of the city."--New York Times, August 15th 2010
"a comely counting book."--Kirkus
"the detailed cityscapes, hidden numbers, and appealing big-city
cats will give little ones plenty to explore."--Booklist
"Klassen's eye-catching digitally rendered urban streetscapes
resemble the sets of classic musical theater...The subtle charms of
this lighter-than-air confection should delight young connoisseurs
of dance and style. --School Library Journal
