Their charmingly raucous game of make-believe is appealing enough, but the sneaky lesson in deductive reasoning makes this frolicsome, read-aloud-friendly picture book truly outstanding.

Booklist, STARRED REVIEW

An understated winner of a friendship story. . . . simultaneously of-the-moment and timeless.

Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW

Fergus' deadpan text and Sookocheff's simple, flowing artwork work in elemental harmony, working together to elevate the book to a subliminal sophistication that breathes something quite smart into the proceedings.

Kirkus, STARRED REVIEW

Se alle

A simple story for animal loving readers and proponents of imaginative play.

School Library Journal

Enjoy the humor, and the depth of characterization, in both art and text, and hope for more Buddy and Earl adventures.

Horn Book

Readers will enjoy the antics of these two playful friends and will look forward to more of their adventures in the future. Highly Recommended.

CM Magazine

Fergus succeeds in engaging readers with this rollicking adventure in a way that never feels didactic or forced. . . Sookocheff marks a promising debut with her first picture book.

Quill & Quire

Deserves to be read aloud over and over again.
