—The Horn Book
Entertainment and education in a pleasing package.
—Kirkus Reviews
Boutavant’s digital illustrations have a retro, Golden Books vibe,
both in palette and style; his gently anthropomorphized animals
have large, black eyes and friendly expressions, and his bold
backgrounds in pinks and reds command attention.
—Publishers Weekly
Ross’s screenwriter background serves his debut well—this
novella-in-verse boasts engaging characters, a sturdy plot, and the
never-fail enchantment of flying....It's not hard to imagine this
on a big screen.
—Publishers Weekly
The digital art is crisply detailed, loudly colored, and slightly
cartoonish in some of its designerly elements.
