"Cutler's narrative is concise and smooth. Yezerski's line-and-watercolor art displays a delicate clouding of earthy colors that gives the images a gentle, pensive air. The warmth of the relationship makes rereading worthwhile." - The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Yezerski's soft pastels have just enough charm, energy and cuteness to match the gentle stories." -- Kirkus Reviews
"A sweet, thoughtful offering with two memorable characters." -- School Library Journal
"The whole 'Rose and Riley' package, with Yezerski's gentle watercolors and Cutler's fresh writing style, is reminiscent of 'Frog and Toad are Friends' by Arnold Lobel. Delightful fare for the emergent reader looking for something that's not just by the book." --
The San Francisco Chronicle
