Tigers, Frogs, and Rice Cakes is reviewed in Children's Bookwatch:

"Daniel Holt selects and translates Tigers, Frogs, and Rice Cakes, an intriguing collection of Korean proverbs which provides vivid color drawings by Soma Han Stickler and a fine bilingual Korean/English text... Unusual subjects for young picture-book readers but the multicultural texts will be welcomed by many and the vivid illustrations are superb."
