Critic Reviews

"Vivid, bright paintings illuminate the well-told narrative centering a child’s singular fixation, disappointment, and family warmth." Kirkus Reviews
"Simple yet evocative... A gentle, well-paced reminder to live in the moment." Publishers Weekly
"LandazΓ‘bal’s gouache and watercolor art is striking, depicting both the sights at the zoo and the lollipop in dazzlingly vibrant hues ... leading to this readaloud’s heartwarming message: it’s easy to be distracted by the anticipation of something that doesn’t come to fruition, and there’s great healing in a hug and some brotherly love." BCCB
"The book delivers its message about living in the moment elegantly, text and illustrations both equally vibrant. This is a picture book to remember" -- Andrea Reece LoveReading4Kids
