"Kruusval's pastel-shaded illustrations capture the story's charm. . . . Each animal is drawn with a liveliness that will seem wholly believable to a young child engaged in imaginative play. An excellent addition." —School Library Journal "Charming line-and-watercolor illustrations feature the very cute friends and their fearless leader on an innocent outing...The simple plot provides a lighthearted lesson in the responsibilities of friendship." —Kirkus Reviews "The playful outdoor tale, translated from the Swedish and illustrated with lively, double-page watercolors will appeal to young adventurers, as will the depiction of being nurtured and loved." —Booklist
