The language has been carefully crafted so that most of the conversations provide models for children just beginning to navigate the sticky wicket of socializing. . . . Goes down easy."Kirkus Reviews
"With conflict and dialogue squarely centered in a childs world and expressive watercolor-and-ink illustrations, this is a welcome addition to a beloved series."School Library Journal
