Review:

"Readers will respond to this warm tale of finding love." - Kirkus Reviews

"Crisp illustrations that capture a genuinely loving heart . . . a strong if whimsical choice for those separated from loved ones." - Kirkus Reviews on PENGUIN AND PINECONE

"Simple yet affecting . . . ideal for a lesson plan on friendship, this book explores the theme sweetly and boldly." - Library Media Connection on PENGUIN AND PINECONE
