Reviews
“Sandra Boynton[’s] board books are not mere trifles to be tolerated... but rich works that all of us can and should enjoy.”
- The New Yorker
“Like her cartoon hippos, pigs, cows and dogs, Ms. Boynton’s lyrics are often silly and lighthearted. But the music—country, jazz, blues, swing and rock—isn’t remotely simplistic or childish.”
- New York Times
