"Strikingly illustrated. . . . Just right for reading aloud. . . .
A poignant title that extends the pioneer story beyond the American
plains." --Booklist
"The text is simple yet evocative, emphasizing the parent-child
relationship, while the skillfully rendered watercolors bring the
unique setting to life. . . . Works nicely as a satisfying story of
the value of imagination, familial affection, and an introduction
to pioneer life." --School Library Journal
