CAPITOL CHOICES:
...this excellent read-aloud introduces young readers to an exotic habitat.
KIRKUS:
...fabulous coming-of-age story... beautiful lessons about finding oneself, about fitting in (or not), about the implacability of nature and weather and the importance of maternal advice.
HIGHLIGHTS MAGAZINE, a child review:
...you'll want to read it again and again... It sounds like music when it's being read to you.
