"The expressive bamboo-pen and watercolor with colored-pencil illustrations capture the humor of the situations as well as the emotions of the characters. With its controlled vocabulary, repetition, and humor, this tale of friendship also introduces opposites, homophones, and letter writing. A real winner." –School Library journal School Library Journal
"Kids will become more proficient at reading and also come away with a lesson in friendship." ––Booklist Booklist, ALA
