"Katherine Kellgren individually portrays each character: a screeching, increasingly dramatic Betty as she reacts to each new "NO," her helpful, wise siblings, her patient but increasingly annoyed mother, and her sympathetic dad. Kellgren's leisurely narration leaves plenty of time for young listeners to enjoy the illustrations in this read-along treat. Sound effects of childhood complement the story."-Audiofile Magazine

"Narrator L.J. Ganser has as much fun with his narration as Frankie the eighteen-wheeler has when he takes listeners on an action-packed trip.... Peppy music, background vocalizations, and road noise complete the production." AudioFile Magazine

"Father/son talents Walter Dean Myers and Christopher Myers teamed up to create a beautiful exploration of musical blues .... The call-and-response text is brought alive by narrator Richard Allen's enthusiastic rendition of the text, accompanied by simple blues instrumentation....Appropriate for group or individual listening..An essential addition to school and public library collections." -School Library

"Myers' fun picture book about a junkyard dog turned celebrated blues musician works wonderfully... thanks to Charles Turner's spirited narration and Mark "Dog" Deffenbaugh's bluesy guitar strumming...Turner's energetic narration keeps the story humming along. Deffenbaugh's guitar work pleases the ear, and his performance of 'The New York City Blues' (music and lyrics by Myers) is the program's highlight. This story about the joys of blues music has found a format that serves it very well." - School Library Journal

"Wendell Minor, whose beautiful watercolor illustrations enhance the text, also simply narrates the story in a tone that reflects the prairie. Of special note is the music of Chris Kubie that evokes the atmosphere of the setting through the use of the flute and other instruments."-School Library Journal
