"Mitter’s illustrations play up the camaraderie of working together . . . Readers with maples get ready: kids are sure to want to try their hands at boiling their own syrup." —Kirkus Reviews

"Knowlton gives Kelsey a chipper narrative voice, which is matched by the bright colors and friendly interactions in Mitter’s illustrations." —Publishers Weekly

"A fun, comprehensive look at the process of making maple syrup the old-fashioned way." —School Library Journal

"A light narrative framework with just enough detail to satisfy the curiosity of most listeners, while an appended note offers more information on maple syrup. Simple, colorful, and attractive, Mitter’s illustrations create a tone of contentment that makes this an attractive choice for reading aloud." —Booklist
