Reviews
Slapstick humor and light mayhem abound... Bright, cheerful colors, uncomplicated backgrounds and paneling, and large, simple facial expressions make this a strong graphic novel for young independent readers. Silly fun. * Kirkus Reviews *
Crisp, highly distilled art and unconventionally streamlined characters capture the group's silliness and rapport, while snappy all-dialogue text includes wonderful euphemisms... As the sun sets, the playmates concur that it's been a playdate to remember, and readers should readily agree. * Publishers Weekly *
Dormer designs simple yet accessible cartoon vignettes that early readers will fully embrace. . .A winning graphic novel that offers a lively reading experience and introduces a delightful cast of animal characters navigating the ups and downs of friendship. * School Library Journal *
