Percival uses lift-the-flap letters to give concrete reality to the friends' correspondence, and his portrayal of Herman's vulnerability is touching and funny. "Publishers Weekly"

The story's emotional content will resonate with any child whose friend has moved away, and the cartoonlike journey sequence is entertaining on its own. Colorful and expressive, Percival's illustrations have plenty of kid appeal. . . . offbeat, gently amusing fantasy. "Booklist""
