Critics Review

This fun read will satisfy kids looking for animal stories with happy endings… . Will appeal to reluctant readers, and it is a good read-aloud.

“Middle-grade teachers will find this a good model for introducing diverse prose styles.”—Booklist “Occasional pen-and-ink spot illustrations add energy to an already high-octane story. A whole lot of fun.“—Kirkus Reviews “Björkman’s slightly scratchy black-and-white illustrations effectively echo the text’s light, comic tone, and they successfully serve to punctuate, but never interrupt, the narrative flow. This will be an easy sell to animal lovers and those looking for a quick, funny read, but it also sits up and begs to be read aloud; creative adults and kids might also be able to develop it into a comedic readers’ theater production.” —Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books“this beginning chapter book will appeal to reluctant readers, and it is a good read-aloud.“—School Library Journal
