Reviews
Publishers Weekly
“. . .as Clark’s lighthearted pictures prove on page after page, Will and Squill share an instinct for fun that transcends words.”
—Publishers Weekly
Kirkus Reviews
“The tongue-twisting text further animates this take on a well-worn theme.”
—Kirkus
School Library Journal
“A sweetly told tale about the friendship between a boy named Will and a squirrel named Squill. . . Lively watercolor-and-colored-pencil artwork keeps the message simple and soft. The repetition in the text makes the reading predictable and pleasurable and suitable for young children.”
