"Flisak’s strong, distinctive ink drawings help define characters while underscoring the stories’ gentle humor… handsome design, good paper stock, and relatively durable cover, this book is both sturdier and more attractive than its paperback designation might suggestA pleasing addition to the series." — Booklist
