"[R]aw, comedic immediacy...an impish delight that's certain to tickle readers"--Publisher Weekly

***STARRED REVIEW***
"While Shea's humor is very much on a child's wavelength, adults reading the book aloud will also enjoy the two characters' conversations. Fresh, expressive, and wildly colorful...A somewhat wacky and completely enjoyable picture book."--Booklist

***STARRED REVIEW***
"Shea...understands the power of subversive humor and honest truth. Combining the two makes the first of this new series a laugh-out-loud romp that won't just have kids giggling: It will have them begging for a reread. Shea's spare, colorful art and conversational text work in perfect unison...This is a must for librarians, teachers and parents looking for a delightful read-aloud to add to their collection. More, please!"--BookPage

"The text is ideal for reading aloud and laughing along with, while the visual gag builds into a sweet relationship. An amiable romp, funny to look at and fun to read."--Kirkus Review

"All's well that ends well in this book that will stand up to multiple read-alouds."

--Horn Book Magazine

"A quirky and sweet animal friendship story with special appeal for fans of the author's other books."--School Library Journal
