“Roth’s pencil and watercolor illustrations feature a subdued, earthy palette and predominantly smiling people and animals.”—Publishers Weekly

“The illustrations are attractive pastel cartoons and one full-color photograph of the giraffe’s stuffed remains, still on display at La Rochelle.”—School Library Journal

“Roth, in a fine debut, catches the times and the tale’s inherent humor in lively, detailed panoramas and more intimate scenes, with both humans and animals gently caricatured.”—Kirkus Reviews
