* “Highly detailed, energetic artworkand the ultimate happy reunion are sure to please in this fun, lively read for early readers—an excellent choice for all.” –School Library Journal online reviews, starred review
“He [Milo] is a lovable, stalwart, and altogether wonderful picaresque hero. The lively, bright, and highly detailed illustrations add dimension and provide sharp-eyed readers with hints about Louise’s emotions, and especially her part as an instigator of the proceedings. Even the endpapers evoke a chuckle. A delightful, heartwarming romp.” –Kirkus Reviews
