Review Quotes
"Tabor's friend-forward graphic novel series opener is an ensemble comedy starring Sir Ladybug as the proverbial gentle knight. The story's themes of friendship and acceptance may be familiar, but leave it to Tabor to get there in a wholly original way." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Geisel medalist Tabor has produced another winner with this darling adventure starring garden variety critters. The language is playful and humorous. Simple but adorable line-drawings are splashed with accent colors and fun details. Gentle action leads the story to a very sweet conclusion that will leave kids eager for future adventures." -- Booklist (starred review)
"Visual humor, tongue-in-cheek declarations, and knock-knock jokes add to the fun absurdity of a story that subverts the natural phenomenon of a bird eating a bug. An endearing testament to the joys of friendship." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Tabor brings his characteristic wit and silliness to this early graphic novel reader. A promising beginning to an expected series." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"This funny friendship story is an excellent offering for young readers ." -- School Library Journal
