Starred Review, Booklist, April 1, 2012: " The final, nearly wordless pages, with snapshots of the friends at play, are priceless. Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, February 15, 2012: Dyckman s debut offers pitch-perfect pacing and gentle humor . as Boy and Bot would say, it s affirmative that this book will be a hit. Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, February 6, 2012: Dyckman s pared-down prose gives the role-reversal story just enough drama, humor, and robot-inflected dialogue to keep children entertained for many re-readings. Review, The New York Times Book Review (online edition), April 11, 2012: It s a perfectly adorable, age-appropriate friendship. And it s simply impossible to imagine a 4-year-old boy not wanting to be friends with this book. Kids' Indie Next List, Summer 2012"
