Review Quotes:
"Frequent, small frames resembling comic-book cells are sprinkled among the full-page illustrations, pulling the reader forward. Warm nighttime charcoal-and-gouache hues make the magic of Mouse's natural world warm and inviting to new readers." Kirkus, 9/15/07 Kirkus Reviews
"The plentiful charcoal pencil-and-gouche illustrations...imbue the moonlit nighttime scenes with appropriate mystery and wonder...[With] a grand finale sure to satisfy the audience." The Horn Book, Nov/Dec 2007 Horn Book "[T]he artwork nicely reinforces the story's action, the closeness between friends, and shared wonder in nature's magic." Booklist 11/2007 Booklist, ALA "Yee portrays Mole's vulnerability and Mouse's pragmatism with great sensitivity and humor." SLJ Jan 2007, School Library Journal, Starred review
