And then he puts them all together to create a song everyone will want to join in on.

Praise for Pepi Sings a New Song…

"Ljungkvist’s irresistible, eye-popping illustrations—which sport a retro-style mix of funky, bright colors; flattened perspective; and minimally detailed shapes—are as fetching as they come. Chockfull, vocabulary-boosting double-page spreads show cute-as-can-be Pepi exploring the numerous objects found in a bakery, a music studio, an art studio, a market, and a dog park, with whimsical results. Ideal forone-on-one sharing with clear-cut connections to vocations, poetry, and the artistic process."--Booklist

"The digital art utilizes expanses of flat color and shaped, controlled line in elegant ways and with a distinctly Modern aesthetic...a pleasing outing."--Kirkus Reviews
