    "A playful, comic romp of a book for new readers." - Kirkus Reviews

    "Speech bubbles of different colors delineate the dialogue, making it useful for those who’d like to put on a mini-play. Expect to see more adventures about this duo for emergent readers." - Booklist

    "Lakin writes skillfully for this audience, injecting humor and clever teachable moments into her accessible text...Besides its obvious use as a first-class beginning reader, this might also make an entertaining readers theater performance piece." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
