"Valério uses warm colors in the full bleed illustrations, s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g out the ears and tails of his rubbery figures to create a sense of exuberant motion."  ...Kirkus

Kirkus Reviews

"Movement and energy are captured in the animated characters. It begs to be read to a group. "  ...SLJ 4/01/06

"Rhyming refrains invite the participation of young listeners… smoothly incorporated Spanish words and phrases. Valerio's splashy tropical colors and elongated, rubbery characters, often stretching across an entire spread, capture the tale's bouncing energy. "  ...Booklist 3/15/06

"A classic Panamanian folktale which teaches the importance of cleverness. Four stars."  ...Heartland Review, 2006

"Opportunities to yell phrases like "Gordito! Gordito! Gordito!" will appeal to kids no matter what their first language, and the cumulative and repetitive nature of the tale will guarantee that young listeners quickly catch on and join in. ...This interactive tale will get listeners singing, dancing, and eating their fill right alongside Conejito."  ...Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, 2006
