Her wording is simple and almost bare. It is through that very minimalist writing that the emotions are really clear and powerful."-- Kids Lit blog "Love, love, love this book! ... Just a great story that your child will love to have you read to him and you'll enjoy it just as much. Great storytelling!"-- JellyMom.com (three stars) "I just can't say enough good things about this book. I fell in love immediately and found myself wanting more at the end. The illustrations, the story-lovely, wonderful, excellent! A stunning book with a simple message reminding us of the beauty of friendship."- Firrkids.com From a Review of the Big Wolf and Little Wolf Trilogy: "They are sweet stories and with Tallec's sweeping illustrations carry an old world feel...Most importantly, the characters are so appealing that readers will be delighted to follow them of their adventures...They are books to hold on to and for certain thoughtful children will be trasures beyond childhood." -Colleen Mondor, Eclectica Magazine
