Parsley's...tale deals with some serious issues that are treated comically. ...A lighthearted foray into the difficulties of zoo life and--more to the point--peer behavior.

Hilarious...a laugh on each spread. And readers will cheer on Leopold as he opts to take the high road--and ends up on top. --Publishers Weekly

An Amazon Best Book of June 2018

An energetic, relatable tale with multiple surprises that forces readers to think about how they handle competition...excellent. --School Library Journal
