Publishers Weekly, February 22, 2016:
“A characteristically Staake salute to mid-20th-century cartoon art . . . Staake’s adventure offers eye-popping color, a wealth of sea life, and the entrancing vision of a companion who appears intimidating but is actually as devoted as a puppy.”
Booklist, April 1, 2016:
“Staake’s signature digital illustrations boast a summery array of colors . . . As the rhyming text bounces evenly along, young readers will be swept away by this whale of a friendship tale.”
