Critics Review
“A sweet celebration of differences. There’s not a cardigan in sight, but the spirit of Fred Rogers is all over this rhymed chorus of ‘likes.’ Bloom suspends pairs and larger groups of anthropomorphic young animals…and she goes to town on highlighting her figures’ diversity. A manifesto to bridge the deepest chasms of otherness and to melt the stoniest of hearts.” - Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“This is a charming read that celebrates diversity and promotes acceptance of differences and harmony. Using domestic and wild animals, this tender story is illustrated with sweet pencil-and-watercolor artwork that will appeal to children…Large illustrations and short text make this a good choice for sharing in a group setting. The message is a positive one about accepting others’ perspectives even if they differ from your own. A perfect selection for a storytime or use in a one-on-one setting.” -School Library Journal
