Raves and Reviews
"Children will relate to the struggle of waiting for a treat, and the mismatched friends’ slapstick antics will appeal to fans of “Elephant and Piggie” and “Frog and Toad.” The story is short enough to engage younger children as a read-aloud, and Snail’s dance would be a fun interactive element for story time with preschoolers. VERDICT Perfect for “Elephant and Piggie” fans who are ready to expand their horizons."
