‘'This is a tale that communicates perfectly the simple joy of breaking down barriers and letting people in."
– Books for Keeps

‘'This more than satisfies the requirements for an outstanding picture book... totally appealing."
– Booklist

‘'An endearing story with big and bold illustrations."
– Nursery World

‘'An outstanding picture book for the youngest listeners. The characters are appealing, the story is short and linear, and the ending is warm and satisfactory. But the high point is the art; graphically inspired, textured, and large in scale, it can be enjoyed from a lap or the back of a room."
– Booklist

‘' Teckentrup has an excellent control of the dynamics of the page. Using a mix of digital and hand-rendered processes, the author conjures up a bold, ‘retro print’ aesthetic with nice use of colour and charming characterisation."

"...the sheer size of the planet’s largest animal is awe-inspiringly clear in her stunning presentation... The intricate prints of sea creatures are beautifully matched with cool, saturated colors, and the appearance of a scuba-diver adds a nice additional reference for scale... the concepts are crystal clear in the artwork… idea for the picture book set."
