Reviews
A little math and a lot of reassurance are tucked into a new idea for celebrating the hundredth day of school. – Booklist
Cuyler has an unflashily effective style and an ear for easy dialogue that keeps this story smoothly rolling. Howard's art evinces the energetically scrawled lines of Betsy Lewin, and the different perspectives and compositions ensure that the simple visuals remain interesting. Warm, uncomplicated, and believable, this is a happy school story for young audiences. Recommended, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
Cuyler artfully ladles on the anxiety and suspense as a chronic worrier confronts a school tradition and succeeds with the support of her family. – Kirkus Reviews
