Reviews

"Wilson makes good use of sound effects and repetition to build suspense and depicts Lewis as no scaredy-mouse, as he bravely faces his fears. Little readers will be reassured by the warm, fuzzy conclusion. Curreys pen, ink and watercolor illustrations nicely contrast the dark night with the cozy interiors and are a bit Beatrix Potteresque in their depictions of Lewis. The start of a beautiful friendship. Lovely." * Kirkus *
"The story is warm and comforting and...many will like this books sweetness." * Booklist *
Steady tension pulls the story forward [and] Curreys...handsome watercolor-and-ink drawings...portray both actual nature and anthropomorphized animal life in the classic British style." * Publishers Weekly *
