Industry Reviews

"Acraman's graphics combine a polished digital aesthetic with playfully anthropomorphic characters, including three stylized birds perched on a tree and endearing rabbits wearing "hachimaki" bandannas. Accessible verses and bright, welcoming pictures should have cross-cultural appeal while aiding in language learning." -- Publishers Weekly
"They include authentically childlike celebrations of rabbits dancing, carp streamers "swimming happily in the air" and falling rain..." -- Kirkus Reviews
"...an enchanting window into a culture that cherishes its close relationship with nature...This collection holds appeal for anyone interested in the country and would be a wonderful addition to an international-themed storytime." -- School Library Journal
