Reviews
“Visually, the book never strikes a false note.”
–Publishers Weekly
“Frazee... has once again designed a complete picture book. A most successful team effort that is welcome for its acceptance of both a child's penchant for trouble and a parent's occasional outburst.”
–Horn Book
“Frazee's lively illustrations sparkle as each of Harriet's little episodes is depicted in humorous detail. Clearly drawn and colorful, they are a witty counterpart to the story. The story, insightful, and with ample doses of gentle humor, should prove a soothing balm for exasperated moms and their busy little bees.”
–Kirkus
“A familiar scenario that should resonate with chagrined parents as well as toddlers. The Harriet (Frazee) envisions is a thoroughly engaging character, one whose aquaintance readers will be delighted to make.”
–New York Times Book Review
