Review Quotes:
Ruzzier's unmissable watercolor artwork yet again features sweet-hearted creatures in warm friendship tales, as he has so deeply mastered. This Level 1 tale, produced by a comics master, manages to weave a lovely story within its tiny word count. - Booklist (starred review)
Unlikely duos sorting out how to have fun together are a staple of the beginning reader genre, and this story has added depth in its assertion that sometimes the best way to play is to go with the flow. - Horn Book Magazine
