A touching and gentle story about the value of friendship. Stunning illustrations are full of delightful touches and I enjoyed the elements of humour such as Bird's suitcase. * Parents in Touch website *
This is a touching story of an unlikely friendship that has such a beautiful end ... that it gladdens the heart to think that even the grumpiest of the grumps would read this and feel a little tingle of hope that somewhere out there, there truly is a friend for everyone. * Read It Daddy blog *
What a delightful, warm and quirky story - just what we've come to expect from the creator of Good Little Wolf … This is a wonderful story about seeing beyond our differences that could get children discussing what is important in friendship, as well as how being excluded from groups can make them feel. * ReadingZone website *
Lovely illustrations in this picture book ... 10/10 * chopsybaby.com *
