This is a stunningly executed story ... Colorful and heartwarming, this story is a delightful addition to bilingual collections for young elementary school-aged readers with an interest in fantasy and imaginative adventures.-- Children's Literature This is one of those terrific adventures that gets better with every reading ... Highly recommended.-- School Library Journal Wondrous. Through the book's repetition, simple words, and expressive illustrations, children speaking either language will easily grasp the wonder of the story. This is a book tailor-made for reading aloud, where even the adult reader does not need to be fluent in both languages. In fact, it would make an ideal first day read in a French Immersion classroom.-- Canadian Review of Materials Reminds young readers of the powers of the imagination and the gems in their own backyard.-- The Ormsby Review The blend of English and French in the text is a clever way to support bilingualism... Educational content made entertaining.-- Kirkus Reviews
