Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
An unlikely group of animals bands together to help a squirrel in need. "Readers will relish every moment of this impeccably paced fantasy," said PW in a starred review. Ages 8-12.
Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5?Kona, an earnest Labrador retriever; Gwendolyn, a wise hermit crab who has been reincarnated 17 times; Murray, a loopy, Chinese leftover-eating bat; and Stumpy, a squirrel, come together during a terrible ice storm in Gooseberry Park to save Stumpy's three babies. Rylant's spare prose results in a trim tale. She does a beautiful job of creating the players, deftly drawing personalities. Murray, in particular, with his occasional snide remarks, is charming. From the humor, especially the wordplay and sarcasm, the book appears to be intended for the older elementary-school crowd, though the annoyingly smug tone of the omniscient narrator, particularly in the first chapter, might put them off. The plot holds together well, even though the oblivion of Kona's absent-minded master, Professor Albert, stretches it a trifle thin. If readers can get past the first few chapters, they will find a story they will want to finish. Howard's appealing black-and-white cartoons appear throughout.?Patricia A. Dollisch, DeKalb County Public Library, Decatur, GA
