Praise
In this early reader graphic novel told in four quickly moving chapters, Kantorovitz (Sylvie) introduces Monti, a quiet, self-effacing mole who lives in the close-knit community of Pocketville. . . . Digital panel drawings portray Pocketville’s anthropomorphized animal inhabitants with simple lines and soft colors. Sweet and genuine, Kantorovitz’s story models community building.
—Publishers Weekly
Monti and Leo’s friendship radiates warmth throughout. It’s clear that kindness and hostility are choices, and this tale shows that the capacity for both exists in everyone. . . With their long snouts, Monti and Leo cut endearing figures in Kantorovitz’s rounded, spare cartoonish art. . . . New neighbors, attitudes, and ideas are worth embracing in this community-minded tale.
