Recensione:

"The story has got real rhythm to it, helped along by the refrain - 'Things were just fine the way they were.'" --Kirkus Reviews

"Great for discussion, this well-conceived picture book illustrates an interesting point about
resistance to new ideas." --Booklist

"It can be difficult to locate nonfiction children's materials on the subject; 'Just Fine the Way They Are' helps fill a void." --School Library Journal
