Reviews

"Adorable and cartoony. Little listeners will identify with this thoughtful (but never preachy) outing." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Anderson's cartoon illustrations build in tension while offering a portrait of the friends' gleeful reconcillation." -- Publishers Weekly

"Anderson presents a narrative that children will relate to. The lighthearted life lessons are always presented optimistically [and] the illustrations are cheerful. A good selection for classroom and library storytimes." -- School Library Journal
