This graphic novel is incredibly popular at our library and I finally got around to reading it. So cute! I can see why our young readers love it. The illustrations are fun and colorful. The plotline simple but sweet!

Soon as I saw the cover I had to pick it up to read! Lemon bird is the most adorable and meets some pumpkin puppy pals along the way. Wonderful, adorable art! I enjoyed every critter-fruit hybrid in the book.
Very quick read, a lot of the pages are just pictures. I enjoyed the touch that the humans can't communicate with the animals and vice versa, but it all works out in the end.

My 6.5-year-old read this 4 times this weekend and now calls it her favorite, so I gave it a go. Sweet adventure story about kindness, teamwork, and perseverance. Very manageable amount of words on each page for young readers. Extra star for major cuteness. Chubby-faced fruit-critters!

I knew I had to read it when I saw it at my library just because it is SO DARN CUTE! I liked it, however I do have one critique.
I wish there was more background about the universe this is set in. I want to see more information about each fruit animal, the humans that live there, etc. The novel just plops you straight into the world without explanation. But, this critique could be taken lightly just because I’m the kind of person that appreciates lore, and I’m also not the target demographic for this book.
This is a sweet, short middle-grade graphic novel that is bursting with vibrant illustrations and the power of friendship. It’s quick and easy to understand, so this would be a great book for kids who are hesitant to read.

Oh so cute. The art style is absolutely adorable and I loved seeing all the fruitimals (fruit + animal) . They were so cleverly done with great designs.
This is a very simple kids graphic novel, but I wanted to see more of the world. It would've been fun to have a mini series or something similar. I was a little sad to see LB learn to fly at the end. I know. It's a kids' book with a common trope. I just cannot help but to hope for it to be a disability metaphor. My fault.
Overall, super cute book!!

A cute story of a citrus bird who always helps others, but must learn how to ask others for help. There's also a Pupkin. It's adorable.
