--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

These wonderful, inky loops and tangles add wild-haired authenticity to the watercolor animals, which appear against flat habitat scenes. The spy hole steals the show, however, creating an active reading experience right up until the final page.
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

This creative book would work equally well in storytimes or one-on-one.
