A charming story with a good immersion in to the culture as well as family and friendships. Illustrations are visually stimulating for younger audiences. The story may read a little long for younger readers ( )

This sweet sequel did not disappoint! In Di Jiao's follow up book readers will be delighted with the same amazing illustrations, and sweet characters. This book, like the first, doesn't offer much conflict, but is full of friendship, sweetness, and kindness galore. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and look forward to reading the rest in this delightful series. ( )

What a charming story. The illustrations are gorgeous with such vivid colors. A celebration of culture, family, and friendship. I makes me want to read more stories about Nini and Blackie. Highly recommended. for children and young readers. ( )

A sweet children's adventure story about friendship that's culturally educational, best for 3-8 years olds. Gorgeous artwork throughout with vivid color usage. Only suggestion is that on the next printing, may want to change the text bubbles on the 1 or 2 pages where the text flow is not read left to right as on the other pages, to avoid any confusion. Recommended.
