Trade Review
“Her [Rozelaar’s] friendly illustrations are brightly colored and nicely textured, depicting sweater-clad cats with large, round heads and stubby limbs. The anthropomorphic cats’ expressive faces evince a wide range of emotions, including amazement, suspicion, and anger. This lesson in cooperation goes down easy.” — Kirkus Reviews Accessible to young readers. The tale of emerging friendship is one to which most can relate. Readers will enjoy the surprise ending and the ways through which Clara and Mimi connect. VERDICT This is an enjoyable and lighthearted story of friendship and collaboration for young children. — School Library Journal “This mellow autumn tale’s straightforward text conveys that kindness and teamwork yield the best fruit of all. Playful pastel-toned, mixed-media illustrations reward careful viewers with literary and feline references.” — The Horn Book “Rozelaar’s winsome mixed-media pictures [. . .] sweetly portray the blossoming of a friendship.” — Publishers Weekly
