Review Quotes

"Stickley's text, written in rhymed couplets, nicely defines the characters and the plot, while Fleming's soft, inviting illustrations portray the characters with warmth and respect for their emotions. . . . [T]his picture book reflects a memorable (but not uncommon) childhood experience."--Booklist
