""What a great book! Phil Hoose and his daughter Hannah are carrying on the tradition of Dr. Seuss."" ù Pete Seeger
""A book with a big appeal to children and parents alike. It speaks to the innocence of kids with a warm, honest, and loving story. And it speaks to the interest of parents, by subtly yet effectively communication a strong moral message, by engendering compassion for all living things and respect for the feelings of others."" ù Senator Joseph Lieberman
