"Harper’s addition to the intro-to-library canon, with its anthropomorphic card cast, is a goofy winner. Raff’s mixed-media collages, digitally colored, are a bright, perfect match for Little Card’s excitement about all things library. . .Check it out!"
—Kirkus
"Raff’s minimalist illustrations, splashed in delicate pastels, and Harper’s playful text conjure up a world as buoyant as it is endearing."
—Booklist
"Little Card is expressive and endearing, and in some instances, his exuberance can barely be contained...A good addition to library-themed storytimes."
—School Library Journal
"Not much in life holds the mystique of a child’s first library card, and this book celebrates that lovely milestone."
—The New York Times
