West Vancouver Guide
"This is a delightful book, one to pore over time and time again."

Globe & Mail
"Unwilling to settle for merely decorative effects, she plays with the Plasticine and the page layout to depth of field, drama and some lovely comic passages."

Christian Science Monitor
"Oppenheim's catchy sing-song text is so much fun it could stand on its own as a poem to memorize or a song to sing, but what a treat to have illustrations that are equally intriguing. Each picture is richly crafted, not with pen or brush, but with the unique and colourful Plasticine-relief technique of Barbara Reid. From the tiny feathers to vast horizons, she captures detail, personality and humour."
