""Konnecke's (Anton and the Battle) single-plane vignettes are gems of minimalist visual humor. . . . It's a smart lesson for readers.""—starred, Publishers Weekly ""Könnecke uses the picture book format simply but brilliantly....Preschoolers faced with daunting new experiences will identify with Bert.""―Horn Book Magazine ""With minimalistic illustrations, an expressive little orange bird, and lots of white space on each page, the book is a natural for preschool storytimes. A good choice for those embarking on a new adventure.""—School Library Journal ""A winning example of less is more."" —Kirkus Reviews
