Review
"All of the requisite Elephant and Piggie elements are here, with expressive type size, colored word balloons (which now include green and brown in addition to the traditional gray and pink), apoplectic bedlam, and warm resolution. Elephant and Piggie's many friends will welcome these two new characters into the fold." Booklist Online
Review
"Everything that readers have come to love about the Elephant and Piggie books is present — masterful pacing, easy-to-follow, color-coded speech bubbles, hilarious body language — except an emotionally satisfying ending." Kirkus
