“The odd couple from Goodnight Already! is back, and little has changed: Bear just wants a quiet morning, and Duck, who has enough enthusiasm for an entire flock, insists that they spend “quality time” together. Their back-and-forth exchanges remain the heart of the book’s fun…[but] John and Davies also emphasize that introverts like Bear have a certain responsibility to let their friends know they care.”
— Publishers Weekly
“John’s humor shines; Davies makes the pair’s quirks ridiculously endearing.”
— New York Times“Fast-paced interplay between the relentless Duck and curmudgeon-like Bear translates to a lively and humorous story.”
— Washington Post“The perfect way to say I love you all year round.”
— Children’s Book Council“The comedic timing in this exploration of personality types and friendship is spot-on, and the wry patter is great fun to read aloud.”
— School Library Journal“Given two main characters who are polar opposites, narrator Tony Call switches from one to the other with aplomb…Call switches from leisurely, deep, and gravelly to high-pitched, speedy, and staccato on the turn of a dime…Young listeners will enjoy the point and counterpoint between the two friends.”
