Booklist

A good choice for kids moving on from Elephant & Piggy. The crisp word balloons and funny conclusion will be gratifying for emerging readers to tackle on their own. The question of whether the duck and goose are actually imaginary is left a bit ambiguous, but that's part of the playfulness of the plot.

Kirkus Reviews

As silly as a goose—and sweet too. Annable’s latest graphic novel turns imaginary friendship into a relatable experience.
