What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A singularly beautiful book”
—Kirkus Reviews * Kirkus *
“This early chapter book could work well as a longer classroom readaloud for elementary students or to enjoy at home. Harper’s latest is a joyful, hilarious romp from beginning to end that feels like a shindig in and of itself.” * The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books *
“The book blends colorful, eye-catching illustrations and witty dialogue, making the animals’ earnest misunderstandings both endearing and laugh-out-loud funny. Perfect for story time, The Shindig is Coming! is a joy to read and a great conversation starter about communication, teamwork, and staying calm under pressure.” * Booklist *
“A riotous romp that lends itself to oral storytelling mixed with amusing wordplay and infused with a folktale tone and style.”
