"Long . . . has a gift for conveying manic, obsessive personalities (he's a master of the googly eye), and he has found a great match in a song of relentless, rote cheeriness. The Hokey Pokey will never look the same-and that's a good thing."-Publishers Weekly "Children will giggle throughout, especially at the surprise ending, and will be singing and dancing along in seconds flat. A nice choice for school and home and a good choice for reluctant readers, full of energy, humor and fun."-Kirkus Reviews "Long's energetic illustrations are done in watercolor and colored pencil, and their cartoonish style adds to the fun."-School Library Journal
