Reviews

"Geckos are neither so common nor so freighted with superstition in North America as they are in parts of Asia, but they are familiar and pleasing enough to make this an ideal choice for sharing with preschoolers." - Kirkus "German illustrator Kastl creates a vibrant village setting, with strong strokes of a palette knife giving the scenes a rich impasto texture; her stylized illustrations also play with the animals' proportions, always putting their distinctive tails front and center. Viswanath's prose moves forward at a steady clip, focusing more on telling an entertaining story than on subtle underlying themes of patience and being content with what one has." - Publishers Weekly "The bright green lizards stand out against rich tones of yellow, orange, blue, and brown; flat-walled squared and rounded houses, sparsely leaved trees, and dirt road offer a hint of the Indian village setting. The paint, applied with a palette knife, has a lovely blended and textured appearance." - School Library Journal
