Editorial Reviews

A sweetly written, illustrated adventure story packed full of twists, turn—and suspense! 4- to 7-year-olds will love it...Smartly plotted and helped along by the wonderful artwork...the book offers a child a vast array of animal characters to get to know and to root for, using vocabulary that is both accessible and vibrant.
—The Wishing Shelf

Readers will easily empathize with the two bickering friends and their fear and frustration at getting lost. Like the best fables, the story ends happily and with an important lesson—sometimes, we need to see through someone else's eyes to solve a problem. Softly colored ink and watercolor illustrations breathe life into the serene farm and countryside, vividly portraying its charming animal inhabitants.
—Dr. Jen Harrison, The Children's Book Review

...a wonderfully delightful children's picture book about nature and being true friends...This is a fun book to read that will also help your child understand responsibility, fun, and friendship.
—Philip Van Heusen, Readers' Favorite Review
