"There’s just enough room in this counting book for one ant, but a bevy of animals manage to squeeze their way in, too. […] Yaskina’s simple illustrations serve the dual purpose of engaging little readers in a seek-and-find while also encouraging counting practice. […] Ripe for rereading, the text follows a predictable, repeated pattern of question and answer that’s pitch-perfect for the toddler crowd, while the contrast between the curmudgeonly ant and the blissfully unaware animals is laugh-out-loud funny. Playful and silly."
— Kirkus Reviews
"This brilliant book has a timeless feel reminiscent of Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar with its bold colours and simple, friendly animals."
