Praise

Clever, multistranded, and off the charts in read-aloud potential.
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Telling stories within a story, Cate’s narrative merges traditional fantasy elements with a more modern, conversational tone. . . . many readers will enjoy the understated wit. . . Spirited drawings bring the settings and engaging characters to life in this very readable chapter book.
—Booklist

Light-hearted and fun. . . Frequent ink illustrations look as though they were sketched by the quirky scribes themselves. . . Listening to an elder tell a potentially embellished tale will ring true for many, and the heartwarming resolution between two old friends is the icing on the lemon scone.
—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

A story of fantastical beasts that focuses on themes of hard work, determination, and friendship. . . . This adorable mad-cap fantasy will keep readers interested and curious to know what happens next. . . . a great read-aloud that would be enjoyed by all and a must-have for any elementary school library collection.
—School Library Connection

A sparkling chapter book. . . Ingeniously layered, yet infused with a feeling of lively informality. . . Ms. Cate has an admirably playful way of introducing esoteric words into the story so that children will understand them. . . Humorous ink illustrations by the author add buoyancy to this engaging read-aloud.
—The Wall Street Journal
