These pals are reminiscent of other endearing friendship pairs such as Frog and Toad and Elephant and Piggie. This sweet, three-chapter offering begs for even more adventures to satisfy newly independent readers. School Library Journal Schaefer s convivial characters should appeal to emergent readers looking for simple text and low-key plotlines, and Bernstein s digitally rendered artwork uses a pleasingly unrealistic color palate. ... Give this to graduates of Mo Willems Elephant and Piggie series who are looking for something with a bit more challenging vocabulary. Booklist Online
