Critics Review
“Kristy Caldwell’s distinctly non-old-timey illustrations emphasize the slapstick elements of Ms. Hopkinson’s stories.“—The Wall Street Journal
“Hopkinson reminds readers that setting out on an adventure with good friends is the best way to experience our wondrous world. Recommended for chapter book collections.“—School Library Journal
“Cartoon-style line and color illustrations faithfully depict a 19th-century ship and a cat’s hilarious antics… More seaworthy fun with this endearing feline hero.”—Kirkus Reviews
