Review Quotes

"[R]eminiscent of 'The Story' chapter from Arnold Lobel's classic Frog and Toad Are Friends (1970). In four chapters, Snyder creates the brothers' latest story with directness, warmth, and artistry. The fourth appealing volume in the beginning-reader series that opened with the Geisel Award-winning Charlie Mouse (2017)."--Booklist
