"The text is .... simple and effective in conveying the gist of each adventure and matches well with its complementary illustration .... If it wasn’t a blasphemous thing to do to a book, I would cut Adventures with Barefoot Critters apart and frame its pages as each page is lovely to gaze at all on its own." - CM Magazine
“Ample use of white space sets off the charming watercolour-and-gouache illustrations in muted colors. The many details on each page render a delightful glimpse into the animals’ cozy lives. Children will have fun discovering each creature’s personality .... Every decorated initial alphabet letter is surrounded by a different floral motif to replicate a medieval Book of Hours for little ones.” - Booklist
