"It's darn near impossible to resist such an earnest, toothy hero." -- Kirkus "Sauer creates kindly characters and hits sweetly humorous notes throughout, avoiding a lesson-heavy tone. . . . [a] funny friendship tale." -- Publishers Weekly "The text's cadence is well-timed for sharing aloud, and both narrative and illustrations zing with humorous touches. An entertaining tale that sends a positive message about the power of friendship and the importance of individuality." -- School Library Journal "Incorporate this into fish- or shark-themed storytimes or share with "Finding Nemo" fans -- either way, kids are likely to snap it up hook, line, and sinker." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Slack's bright blue scenes are full of action, reaction, and witty details." -- Booklist, "It's darn near impossible to resist such an earnest, toothy hero." - Kirkus "Sauer creates kindly characters and hits sweetly humorous notes throughout, avoiding a lesson-heavy tone. . . .
