Reception

BookList, in a review of The Man Who Kept His Heart in a Bucket, wrote "The bold watercolors that sweep across the pages of this picture book demand a strong story line. Levitin delivers a respectable one,"[1] and the School Library Journal wrote "Levitin's cleverly created story, structured like a traditional folktale, is enhanced by Pinkney's watercolor and pencil scenes of ruddy-cheeked Eastern European peasants, thatched roof cottages, and lush green countryside."[1] Publishers Weekly called it a "thoroughly captivating story firmly rooted in the folktale tradition."[2]

The Man Who Kept His Heart in a Bucket has also been reviewed by The Horn Book Magazine.[3]
