"The language is dry and the illustrations are light and characterful" Julia Marshall, Publisher
Delphine Perret is author–illustrator of more than a dozen children’s books, translated into several languages. She lives in Lyon, France, where she also co-founded an art gallery.
"French author Perret’s tale is serene, moving along languidly like
the calming flow of a brook through the woods. Bits of text reside
alongside simply wrought thin, black-line illustrations on cool
mint-green pages in this graphic-novel hybrid. While the story
itself makes for a pleasant read-aloud, the small-scale, unassuming
art may better serve independent readers than groups. Children
drawn to quieter animal fare imbued with warm humor and accompanied
by a gentle nudge toward nature should find kinship here. A
meditative tale with a homespun feel, best for thoughtful
readers."
*Kirkus Reviews*
"The simple stories are gentle and occasionally funny, with the
expected silliness of animals trying to live in a world where human
stuff keeps intruding, such as when bear wins a sofa. Spare line
drawings on mint green paper lend the book an air of whimsy."
*Stephanie Tournas, Youth Services Book Reviews*
