It is a perfect marriage of line, color, shadow, dialogue, and message." - The Comics Journal "It has a message that is both timely and not at all heavy handed." - Books4YourKids "The brightly colored illustrations capture the energy of the story's ebullient characters." - Mile High Books "It's perfect for young readers." - What'cha Reading
