"[...] the book is beautiful to look at and filled with quirky characters." * Andrea Reece, LoveReading * "[...] the pages positively glow and as for the story well what is not to love about stories of bravery, heroism and friendship." * Armadillo * The story has a strong moral message about power, decision making, responsibility and protecting after the earth. Beautifully illustrated with a fairy-tale quality the fable is a lyrical introduction to ecology and conservation. * Brenda Marshall, School Library Association *
