"The point of view in this book makes it a standout. Kingsley is
well drawn, both literally and figuratively, and the result is a
hilarious tale. Readers will fall in love with this dog and his
single-minded determination to find his perfect partner. VERDICT
This very funny and endearing read-aloud should be invited into
every children's room with open arms." -- STARRED REVIEW
School Library Journal
"Whimsical details tucked into the pencil and watercolor
illustrations."--Foreword Reviews
"Children will be gratified by the touching conclusion to this
Australian import that explores feelings and relationships.
Grown-ups sharing this tender story might help children volunteer
their own experiences making new friends."--Kirkus Reviews
"The combination of Evans's action-packed drawings of a dog on a
mission and short, sharp language, reflective of a curious dog's
thoughts, works brilliantly to emanate humour, warmth and
wonderment. A Human for Kingsley leads the reader on a
playful journey of finding friendship and understanding
reciprocity." --Books + Publishing
"Delicate earth-toned illustrations rely on fine, sketchy outlines, pale color highlights, and all-white backgrounds to humorously flesh out the spare text. . . . An endearing, visually rib-tickling ode to best friends." --Kirkus Reviews on Ollie and Augustus "Sweet and spare, the illustrations convey large feelings." --Booklist on Ollie and Augustus
