Reviews

"The familiar characters taking on an unusual topic make this a book to consider anywhere this series is popular."-- "School Library Journal"
"This is a universal story about friendship with a lesson somewhat like that of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf." The story is a good one on its own, but the colorful, sparkly illustrations make it even better."-- "Midwest Book Review"
"It is a book that deserves a place in every library."--Anne Bradley "Just Imagine"
