"Rosoff's little tale of interspecies family love should bring a
laugh or two to young readers, juxtaposing as it does the absurdity
of a very large member of the deer family residing in a human abode
. . . A lesson in animal care told with love and humor." --Kirkus
Reviews
"Rosoff (the McTavish series) and Ercolini (Not Inside This House!)
start with a goofy what-if . . . but deepen their story into
something much more: one about how loving families stick together,
embrace radical acceptance, and know when to let go." --Publishers
Weekly
"Unconditional acceptance forms the central theme in this droll
tale." --Booklist
