 Kirkus reviewed the award-winning "Feathered Ones and Furry" as a "collection of coy and innocuous little animal rhymes.The verses are technically conventional, with rhythm and rhyme schemes ranging from mildly pleasant to flatly predictable".Again, writing of "In the Middle of the Night", in which a little girl celebrates her birthday by taking a special night time walk with her Father, Kirkus said, "The bibliotherapeutic possibilities perhaps outweigh anything that might be said about the poem as poetry".
