Trade Review“Warm, colorful, somehow both fanciful and sophisticated. . . . A good reminder that one of the strongest cases for having a friend who is different is that you get to see the world through a different set of eyes.” — New York Times Book Review “Potter’s impressive expressively naïve-style watercolor, ink, and colored-pencil illustrations perfectly nuance author Davis’s witty text. . . .this clever design visually and textually summarizes the story’s theme of friendship’s togetherness. A delight.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Davis’s understated, just-the-facts text. . .is the perfect foil for Potter’s expressive art. The illustrations capture the ups-and-downs of canine life and friendship with understanding and humor—especially when it comes to Pekoe’s innocent naiveté. The book will touch the hearts and tickle the funny bones of dog-story readers and friendship-story readers alike.” — Horn Book (starred review) “Davis and Potter celebrate a canine pair’s differences . . . Pekoe’s youthful enthusiasm and Olive’s hard-won wisdom are equally beguiling. Despite their differences, they are loyal friends, focused on what’s most important” — Publishers Weekly “This picture book highlights the joy that can be shared among friends when they respect and celebrate each other’s differences. With simple illustrations and accessible text, this title will delight young readers and help them to appreciate their friendships in new and exciting ways.” — School Library Journal
