This was the very first Bill Peet book I bought for my oldest boy, now 24. They didn't have the audio version then so I created my own and sent it with the book to him in England to listen to. He listened almost every night according to my irate ex wife! Now I'm reading it to my second son and it's one of his favorites too amongst all of Bill Peet's books. I am now a narrator of digital children's books and I cannot tell you how I wish other writers could write and illustrate like Bill did. Every book is a jewel, and every one inspires a vivid picture in the kid's head and for me as a professional reader, the way he writes gives me tremendous inspiration to put every ounce of enthusiasm I have into my interpretation. He makes me a good actor and creates so successfully, the vision in our heads that every children's writer strives for. You will love this book. Oh, and so will your kids!

My son and I love Bill Peet books. The author seems to have a terrific mix of humor, creativity and good artwork. This book is wonderful. The rhyming text is enjoyable to read. My son talks about things he sees in the artwork which he doesn't do with most picture books. Am really glad I picked up this book.

The Author Bill Peet has the gift to spark the imagination of all children. His stories are amazing. There are over 30 kids books by him and I recommend them all!Smokey (Sandpiper Books)

It's a delight to read and to share this story with young ones. It's now a favorite of ours from the Bill Peet cannon. Though a child in the sixties, I was completely unaware of Bill Peet's work and 'Smokey' was the happy introduction to this author and artist.

This is a fun read - I enjoy reading verse, and this flows nicely and doesn't feel forced. But there are sections that would now be considered politically incorrect. Combine it with "The Caboose is Loose" for a young train lover.
