“In four stand-alone chapters, sweet, funny vignettes depict a
warm, accepting friendship that transcends differences….
Catalanotto employs brief, action-filled sentences and clear,
simple dialogue that is accessible to children newly comfortable
with independent reading… A fun-filled view of a warm, unlikely
friendship.”
*Kirkus Reviews*
"Readers looking for funny friendship stories but who think that
Frog and Toad and other early readers are a tad too easy will find
this unlikely duo just right."
*The Horn Book Magazine*
