"[A] resounding success. Each author/artist relates the same cumulative story about a dog on its way to a human friend, gathering other animals along the way.... Carle's English version begins at the front of the book and Iwamura's version, as is the custom in his native Japan, begins at the back. The two tales meet in the middle with a gatefold spread that unites the two human friends...The remarkable achievement here is how well the two artists' style - so different in media and execution mesh...A charming ode to friendship and an ideal showcase for two varied and vibrant artistic styles." - Publishers Weekly, starred review
