[A] joyfully rambunctious ode to the glorious vernal equinox that can’t be tempered, despite some powerful histamines… . [Yoon’s] delightfully uproarious illustrations in kaleidoscopic colors gorgeously manifest the endless blooms… .
—Shelf Awareness (starred review)

Minimal text captures the pooch’s pure lust for life. Yoon’s sketchy, cartoonish illustrations are a necessary part of the storytelling, deftly portraying both action and emotion, from utter despondency to pure delight… . Little readers will giggle at the dog’s silly anti-allergy getup, while similarly afflicted adults will chuckle at its effectiveness. The joy—and angst—of spring, artfully depicted.
—Kirkus Reviews

A whimsical, charming homage to spring… . Readers will laugh at the puppy’s melodramatic ways and empathize with its familiar plight, all while enjoying a story that blossoms with humor and heart. The cartoon art style, with exaggerated, expressive characters, is set against a vibrant, color-speckled field of flowers. A delightful read-aloud, perfect for fans of Mo Willems and Mac Barnett.
