"As silly as a goose--and sweet too. Annable's latest graphic novel turns imaginary friendship into a relatable experience. With at most six panels per double-page spread, the layout supports emerging readers new to the comics medium. Neither "bird buddy" speaks aside from sounds, letting Annable's humorous character design and playful art shine." - Kirkus

"A good choice for kids moving on from Elephant & Piggy. The crisp word balloons and funny conclusion will be gratifying for emerging readers to tackle on their own. The question of whether the duck and goose are actually imaginary is left a bit ambiguous, but that's part of the playfulness of the plot." - Booklist

Praise for Hide & Seek with Clyde & Monique: Clyde in Plain Sight

"This is a tale to build visual literacy and set readers on the path to becoming longtime comics fans...An irresistible playdate." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Readers will enjoy their own seek-and-find game as they try to spot Clyde in his many ingenious and physics-defying hiding places from page to page as Monique dutifully searches high and low. Clearly written fonts, large-format panels, and accessible vocabulary will make this a gratifying choice for elementary-schoolers on their way to independent reading. A rustic and comical scene of backyard playtime." - Booklist
