“Brightly colored artwork done in torn-paper collage adds to the mood and provides enough visual interest to supplement the fairly lengthy text. A warm, loving story for uncertain older siblings or for children who are new to the school environment.” —School Library Journal

“This should suit primary-grade children, who’ll recognize the situation. Ayliffe’s cut-and torn-paper collages brighten this upbeat picture book…. the lines are clean, the colors are sunny, and the forms are more fluid in line and more natural in depicting characters than is the case in most collage illustrations.” —Booklist
