starred review/Kirkus Reviews
“Wonderful as ever… The pacing is perfect… Seeger continues to set a high standard for picture books.  Superb.“

School Library Journal
“This pitch-perfect addition to the much-honored annals of impetuous Dog and careful Bear’s friendship will find a ready and delighted audience… Joyfully distilled in minimal dialogue and Seeger’s trademark use of bright, bold color… Listeners, emerging readers, children have a treat in store.“

Publishers Weekly
“The simple expressiveness of the friends’ mutual concern and Seeger’s inventive use of time and physical space adds to the duo’s magnetism.”

Horn Book
“Fresh and surprising… Super special.”
