Review Quotes:

"It's darn near impossible to resist such an earnest, toothy hero."
--Kirkus

"Sauer creates kindly characters and hits sweetly humorous notes throughout, avoiding a lesson-heavy tone. . . . [a] funny friendship tale."
--Publishers Weekly

"The text's cadence is well-timed for sharing aloud, and both narrative and illustrations zing with humorous touches. An entertaining tale that sends a positive message about the power of friendship and the importance of individuality."
--School Library Journal

"Incorporate this into fish- or shark-themed storytimes or share with "Finding Nemo" fans--either way, kids are likely to snap it up hook, line, and sinker."
--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"Slack's bright blue scenes are full of action, reaction, and witty details."
--Booklist
