Praise for Cowboy Small

"(The Lois Lenski reissues) have been smartened up with full-color treatment. I wasn't sure how today's sophisticated children would respond to Mr. Small's cheerful, tidy world, but I needn't have worried. Two-year-olds will always gravitate to simply told tales featuring vehicles and their operators, no matter how old-fashioned they appear to be. These titles will grab hold of their intended audience."--Recommended Reissues:Characters You Can Count On, The Horn Book Magazine (September/October 2001)

"Mr. Small is an American institution."--Parents magazine
