"With gentle humor and his usual mastery of line and composition, dePaola conveys the strong bond of affection between Tom and little Tommy, from the photo-album snapshot of the proud grandfather holding a baby on the title page to the big hug of the two mischief-makers that ends the book". — Horn Book, starred review
