4.5

4.5 Very well-designed story and artwork. Short but sweet with a few life lessons just from these pages. The character design is amazing, I can imagine the characters as collectible figurines already. The humor is fantastic and goes well with the manga/anime style of the facial expressions that I love. Great conclusion for this episode. Just wished it was a longer story. It's a comic book more than a full graphic novel. I am assuming there will be more episodes. Great for young readers and up.

4.25 - Great
Captivating plot that keeps you on your toes. Strong character development that is tied in with an important lesson of being brave vs being fearless. Intriguing character dynamics. Lively and wonderful illustrations. Diverse set of characters that leave you wanting more. Spunky duo of mother and daughter. Easy-to-understand dialogue along with a cordial narration.

TLDR: Super adorable and cute with a fab message behind it - worth the read for any and all ages!

This is my first time reading and seeing anything from Caitlin Rose Boyle and I've fallen in love!

The colours and artwork are so vibrant and bubbly which suits the story and characters so well. It's a very short and sweet story but I loved the little bits of animals facts throughout (as an animal behavourist myself). If I could add one thing, it would be that I wish there was a bit more facts on the animals we see, but obviously I know that the target audience isn't me.

I plan to buy a physcial copy when this releases and grab the first one in this series too, can't wait!
