<p>"This involving, thought-provoking chapter book is utterly charming. Nilsson...creates endearing characters and a childlike sensibility through writing that is clean, precise, and amusing. A wonderful choice for independent reading, particularly for kids who become accomplished readers early."―starred, <em>Booklist</em></p>
<p>"Written in the style of a classic noir, but with plenty of humor and silliness....softly colored illustrations illuminate the tiny, cozy details of the forest creatures' world."―<em>Publishers Weekly Online</em></p>
<p>"The full-color illustrations add whimsy to the tale and perfectly complement this gentle read....Hand this one to precocious readers who have graduated from early chapter books but aren't ready for too much strife in their novels."―<em>School Library Journal</em></p>
