Editorial Reviews
A newly hatched sea turtle, a baby giraffe anxious for independence and a little elephant who wants more than anything to help his mother … each of the characters struggles with issues that young children can relate to.
Review, Canadian Children’s Book News
“The uncluttered illustrations are perfect for youngsters who are first encountering the world of books…[with] family-centered and child-empowering texts. Highly recommended.”
– CM Magazine
Since [in both Bitsy and Rokko] Opal never attaches a gender to the little critters, the books are equally accessible to both girls and boys. Both books certainly deserve a place in home and library collections.
Review, CM Magazine
