"Hatam offers kids lots of minutiae to look at, including clever
endpapers with comical one-liners . . . Her detailed,
animated, vibrant drawings accentuate the drama and neatly depict
the concluding message that celebrates compromise .
. . Kids will enjoy the quirky visuals while appreciating
the creative relationship of these two companions." —Kirkus
"The digital illustrations show small detailed and colorful
vignettes of Maxine, her family, and friends in full invention mode
. . . Each has a strong personal view and a bit of attitude as they
express themselves through their approaches . . . This title allows
young readers to view changing relationships through strong-willed
characters who learn how to work together." —School Library
