"Books that motivate children to read and be excited about the act of reading are always winners in my book, and this book certainly fits both categories. Further, it involves young people in the understanding and appreciation of their environment and the living things within. It engages readers of all backgrounds, and is an especially powerful title for reluctant readers who favor animals and the environment. The combination of text and illustrations will surely bring forth many "oohs" and "ahs" when the title is read aloud. I would be pleased to see this title become a winner." - Learning Magazine's 2005 Teacher's Choice Award panel comments (October 2004)

"Earth Day is Saturday, April 22. This annual celebration of the natural world offers families a great chance to participate in activities that make the world a better place. Plant a tree rather than cut one. Walk instead of drive. Go on a litter hunt. Reduce, reuse, recycle. And with a little help from Dawn Publications, this month's focus on all things environmental could creep indoors, too - into story time with your child. Earth Day Birthday is a read-and-sing-along offering by Pattie Schnetzler that plays off the holiday carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas" with a message about endangered North American animals. Schnetzler replaces the partridge in a pear tree with a bald eagle in a blue sky, the two turtle doves with two grizzlies sleeping ... all the way to 12 wolves a-howling. In their own way, "five spotted fawns" may actually surpass the majesty of "five golden rings." " - Grand Rapids Family Magazine (April 2006)
