Review
Goodin fills each panel with cinematic, hand-painted scenes that, while certainly for kids, are slightly eerie, though never truly scary. The toylike creatures and Muppetesque house are in appealingly sharp contrast to the soft, natural tones of the surrounding forest, which only serves to emphasize the off-kilter atmosphere.--Sarah Hunter
This is a great little graphic novel for younger kids. It's gentle without ever being precious, and positive without relying on a false upbeat quality that ignores any negativity or darkness. ... Goodin... provides art that mixes wonder with clarity... It's also clear that he's having as much fun as potential readers probably will, and that gentle enthusiasm bleeds through when taking it all in.--John Seven
The Kurdles is a brief, yet fantastical journey that imaginatively chronicles something so simple as a little help from one's friends. ... Slightly older children should find the characters and situations compelling and giggle-inducing, while the magic of the book won't be lost on adults, either.--Zach Hollwedel
