Raves and Reviews
"This is an adorable story about friendship and fun told in speech bubbles very similar to those seen in the Mo Willems’s “Elephant and Piggie” stories. The cartoonlike illustrations and large speech bubbles will appeal to young children. This looks to be the first of many adventures for the unlikely pair. VERDICT Recommended for general purchase, as it will have broad appeal to the preschool and the beginning reader population."
