"Gouache-and-pencil illustrations accompany Isabel's story and perfectly reflect her worry and excitement." — Kirkus
"Isabel makes a likable character, and her concerns will strike a chord with the many children who face report card days with anxiety...Expressive and sometimes humorous gouache-and-pencil illustrations give this brightly colored picture book a cheerful look. Another entertaining school story from the author-illustrator of such picture books as Last Day, Hooray! (2003) and Rhyme Time Valentine (2002)." Carolyn Phelan — Booklist
