Review
"Fine details, shadings and a real feel for weather make this special." Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Review
"Yue channels her customary jaunty energy into a more old-school drawing style, delivering nature scenes that are warm but not treacly, while Schertle’s gentle prose has just enough repetition to provide a comforting structure and a cozy lilt." Publishers Weekly, starred review
Review
"[Such a Little Mouse] makes a nice example of the virtue of being contented with one's lot." School Library Journal
