"Landazábal’s gouache and watercolor art is striking, depicting both the sights at the zoo and the lollipop in dazzlingly vibrant hues ... leading to this readaloud’s heartwarming message: it’s easy to be distracted by the anticipation of something that doesn’t come to fruition, and there’s great healing in a hug and some brotherly love." * BCCB *
