Critics Review
“The lightheartedness of the art, full of clever details for astute readers to discover, puts a comforting spin on a more serious tale … Art and verse alternate between playful silliness and showing the sincere worry of a little girl learning to be gentle with her pet … Delightful reminder that having a pet differs from parenting ‘a troop of teddy bears.’” —Kirkus“Schachner, of Skippyjon Jones fame, matche sher rhyming stanzas with energetic illustrations filled with activity, bendy felines, and Beanie’s unconventional flair.” —Booklist“Comical panels and lots of action keep the pet care lessons fun and kid-appropriate; seasoned feline caretakers will especially enjoy a spread where a leash-clad Stretchy teeters between stubbornly put-out and potentially homicidal … an enjoyable and educational romp with our favorite butterscotch boy.” —BCCB
