Review Quotes

"The repeating refrain of "I can help" will reassure readers and is simple enough to be triumphantly parroted by the youngest of storytime audiences. Whether depicting a verdant park or moonlit city scenes, Costello's artwork sets a soothing tone." --Kirkus

"A good title for story hours with young children as well as a sweet choice for beginning readers... A simple but winning story of cooperation, kindness, and the importance of being willing to lend a paw." --School Library Journal
