But can they get over their nerves to have some fun and make new friends?"John shares each critter’s concern with winning candor . . . [Climo's] art offers reassurance in its soft hues, visual crispness, and clear empathy . . . the creators handle the subject matter expertly, with psychological astuteness and humor." —Publishers Weekly
