Reviews

"A delightful tale that invites interpretation and almost demands giggles at the antics of the expressive chick and puppy." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review, on Pip & Pup

"Children will delight in the whimsical pictures of the resilient and clever chick, discouraged by no obstacle. Yelchin's quirky illustrations in pastel colors and graphite are delightful. His characters' expressive faces and bodies create a story which needs no words to convey their lively friendship." --Booklist on Pip & Pup

"Yelchin's visual humor here is spot-on for preschoolers; his wordless storytelling is flawless; and his palette of spring colors and use of colored pencils and oil pastels on highly textured paper bring life and energy to the page." --The Horn Book on Pip & Pup

"This story is perfect for a quick but quiet burst of adventure before bedtime." --Bookpage on Pip & Pup
