Review Quotes: Starred Review, Booklist, April 1, 2012:
""The final, nearly wordless pages, with snapshots of the friends at play, are priceless."
Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, February 15, 2012:
"Dyckman's debut offers pitch-perfect pacing and gentle humor.... as Boy and Bot would say, it's 'affirmative' that this book will be a hit."
Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, February 6, 2012:
"Dyckman's pared-down prose gives the role-reversal story just enough drama, humor, and robot-inflected dialogue...to keep children entertained for many re-readings."
Review, The New York Times Book Review (online edition),
April 11, 2012:
"It's a perfectly adorable, age-appropriate friendship. And it's simply impossible to imagine a 4-year-old boy not wanting to be friends with this book."
