"Iris’s exuberance is reflected in Guest’s text as well as in Davenier’s…illustrations that nearly lift the child off the page."
School Library Journal
(starred review)
"In the tradition of Arnold Lobel’s classic easy readers about Frog and Toad, the realism here is gentle. Without being sentimental, the simple words and casual, exuberant ink-and-watercolor pictures tell a story of disappointment that doesn’t mean crisis, and of home always waiting to welcome you back."
Booklist
"Readers will welcome this latest installment in the true-to-life stories of these charming friends." Kirkus Reviews
"Shows that series books can be great as this is the fourth time out, best one yet. Theme of not having to do it all at once means you can come home in the middle of the night from a sleepover....Immensely supportive for a primary or early elementary child to hear this."
