Editorial Reviews
“Soft-edged, whimsically anthropomorphized animals are downright adorable. . . Young readers . . . will see that despite having different outlooks, there are many ways to work together. A sweet meditation on the value of creating, regardless of use.” —Kirkus Reviews
"The illustrations are cozy and delightful, just like the text. A fun and inspiring read-aloud for student makers." -School Library Journal
