Critics Review
“I loved the illustrations in this story—bright, bold, and showed the hilarious expression of Gil on his adventures. I think children will enjoy seeing his new home choices and deciding for themselves if those choices would be right for Gil.” - Youth Services Book Review
”[Kids] may still get a kick out of Gil’s rotund body walking around unfishlike in a pair of shoes.” - The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“The story is a satisfying balance of familiar and fresh, with an endearing protagonist and an especially timely message about isolation and connection… Utterly delightful.” - Kirkus Reviews, STARRED review
