Industry Reviews
"All about accommodation and alternating points of view, this story is a carefully constructed balance of sympathy and silliness."
Kirkus Reviews (03/15/2002)
"Besides the bittersweet story, it is Macaulay's pictures that make this book a standout, from the ingenious feeding contraption that Angelo rigs up for Sylvia to the bird's-eye views of things that Macaulay made his name demystifying for kids: a cathedral, a city, construction."
Washington Post Book World - Elizabeth Ward (06/09/2002)
"This tenderly told and genuinely touching story is a change of literary pace for Macaulay....Unassuming but affecting, this is [a] tale of friendship bound to be popular with a wide audience."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (06/01/2002)
