Praise
* “A hilarious romp with easy, breezy language that captures the essence of little boys (or little alligators). . . . Large-scale watercolor-and-pencil illustrations are appropriately goofy and perfectly depict the high-speed action and the rampant emotions of the characters. Small details add to the fun. . . . Total laugh-out-loud joy.” — Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW
“A story involving misunderstandings, overactive imaginations, and ‘verometric outerhull stabilizers.’ . . . Van Wright’s pencil-and-watercolor artwork [invigorates] the story with action and comedy, from J.T. and Alik’s muddy first encounter to their eventual realization that they have much in common.” — Publishers Weekly
“Watercolor and pencil illustrations in a cartoon style match the pair’s preferred reading material. . . . The simple, direct narrative will appeal to reluctant readers.” — School Library Journal
