Review
"One thing is certain: it's easier to go on when one has a full stomach and a good friend to lean on during naptime."
and#8212;Publishers Weekly
"The spare text evocatively captures the spat and reconciliation. Cepeda's charming, digitally enhanced line drawings show the floppy-eared companions expressing a range of emotions, form squinty-eyed anger to open-armed jubilation."
and#8212;School Library Journal
"The volatility of the preschool temperament is showcased in this sweet picture book about conflict resolution...Emergent readers could tackle this book on their own, but this is a story best shared. Preferably with a buddy."
and#8212;Booklist
"Learning how to navigate the path of friendship is an important part of life, and these bunny buddies learn a lesson that is gently, beautifully shown rather than told...This will appeal to a wide age range, from young preschoolers through emergent independent readers."
