Reviews

"Great bibliotherapy for any inattentive busy beaver."

Kirkus Reviews, 15/06/2011

"Try this title as bibliotherapy for youngsters who need to focus on impulse control."

School Library Journal, 01/09/2011

"We end up with a hero both gauche and inspiring, and a message that's Canadian through and through: clean up the forest, say sorry, and we can all be friends."

Quill & Quire, Starred Review, 30/09/2011

"The art's quirkiness and the text's droll delivery contribute equally to the lighthearted tone of this cautionary tale."

Publishers Weekly, 19/09/2011
