“Hannigan’s illustrations have plenty of white space so that children can focus on Gwendolyn Grace’s cavorting and just enough details to keep them interesting. Her dog and bird join in her boisterous activities, effortlessly matching her joy and disappointment and adding a fun visual element. The image of a small bird banging away on a kitchen pot is priceless. Pair Gwendolyn Grace with any of Ian Falconer’s “Olivia” books for a storytime that will delight children. VERDICT: A wonderful mix of relatable scenes, expert facial expressions and body language, spot-on text, and the perfect amount of whimsy.” School Library Journal
