Critics Review
“To those who enjoyed Yours Sincerely, Giraffe by Iwasa this is a must-read.” – Starred Review, Youth Services Book Review (US)“Takabatake again contributes childlike black-ink drawings that amplify the gentle, heartwarming nature of this beginning chapter book about friendship and how kindness reigns over winning.” – Booklist (US)“An ode to the joys of friendship and letter-writing, this is a great choice for early chapter book readers.” – School Library Journal
“Delightfully silly, since the events are: a seal swimming race, a penguin walking race, and a whale spouting contest.”
