* "This droll story about Madame Coco and her five bull terriers will appeal to anyone who has wondered what to do on a rainy day...it's Chess's comical illustrations that lend the book its wit. Her understated humor rivals Jack Benny's: Rose comes to the party dressed as a daisy, while Daisy comes dressed as a rose. The terriers spend days planning games, decorations and snacks with the kind of fierce concentration, curiosity and exuberance of bright toddlers. The eccentric Madame Coco and her amusing dog family are as irresistible as a litter of new puppies." - Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
"...utterly delicious." - Washington Post
"Not a bad way to while away some stuck-indoors time." - Kirkus Reviews
"The wonderfully detailed pictures are hilarious and expressive. This is a great activity-producing selection for a rainy day, or any day." - School Library Journal
"The art is so funny (a pit bull with pointy teeth dressed as a Red Cross nurse) and the telling so deadpan that the book has enormous appeal." - Booklist
"A fun story about making the best of a boring situation." - Kids Bookshelf
"...an adorable book for beginning readers." - Abby K9
