Reviews
""Add this to the stack of delightful early readers about friend pairs. . . . This series opener is delicious."" --School Library Journal ""An easy-to-follow plot leaves plenty of space for early readers to decipher the punny text . . . while pop art vibes drive the visuals in this straightforward work."" --Publishers Weekly ""This amusing story and the simple but expressive illustrations will resonate with kids who are figuring out how to be a good friend."" --Booklist ""This cheery series starter shares the tender social-emotional lessons of similar titles starring animal pals, like Mo Willems' Elephant and Piggie series or Ben Clanton's Narwhal and Jelly tales. A satisfying choice for picky readers."" --Kirkus Reviews ""[A] wonderfully engaging easy reader. The simply drawn digital cartoon characters exude personality and charm. . . . This collection of small dramas is just right for fledgling readers and perfect for read-alouds and reader's theater productions."" --School Library Journal, starred review, on DUCK, DUCK, PORCUPINE!
