"Text and pictures blend seamlessly on this outstanding offering. . . . A strong debut for Roemer and Takahashi's most inventive work yet."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"For new readers, this is an excellent introduction to concrete poetry, while the physical patterns of the poems will help younger children connect the sounds they hear with the word shapes they see. And the gift of that pre-reading skill is a party favor to cherish."--Horn Book
"Throughout, Roemer maintains an ear for delicious sounds and rolling rhythms that beg to be read, or sung, aloud, and children will delight in the poems' clever, whimsical shapes, which are reinforced by Takahashi's cheery, elemental artwork."--Booklist
"If you are going to ask your kids to write these poems, I can't think of a better launching pad than 'Come to My Party'."--Long Beach Press Telegram
"A clever concept, splendidly realized."--Orlando Sentinel
"Rarely has the collaboration between writer and artist been more evident than in this celebration of the four seasons, with elegant verses by poet Heidi Roemer fashioned into sinewy lines of type that cleverly suggest the objects being discussed, and the actions taking place."--Pittsburgh Tribune
