Funny, vibrant, and surprisingly tender--in short, everything a good friendship should be. - Kirkus (starred review)

[T]ender and visually radiant, [it] will make readers hope for more stories with this winning partnership. - Shelf Awareness (starred review)
This early reader['s] straightforward tone and direct sentences tell a simple story of friendship with a clipped wit. What is not said in the text is fully articulated in the stunningly expressive digital illustrations that deploy small visual cues to amplify the humor. - BCCB (starred review)
Scott's author-illustrator debut is reminiscent of buddy stories like Mo Willems' quirky Elephant and Piggie and the beloved classic Frog and Toad, and has the potential to garner the same following as those lauded pairs. A surefire hit for kids who appreciate both the macabre and the softness of pastel florals. - Booklist (starred review)
