A family history about unlikely but enduring love. . . There's a lot of enjoyment to be derived from the contrast of the preening, aerodynamic dragons with the good-hearted groundedness of the penguins. - Publishers Weekly on DRAGON'S EXTRAORDINARY EGG

Gliori's watercolor-and-ink illustrations are both detailed and delicately executed, charming and wowing at the same time. There is much to enjoy here, and the illustrations and allusions beg for repeat readings. - starred review, Kirkus Reviews on WHAT'S THE TIME, MR. WOLF?

From the morning-and-night endpapers to the final illustration in which Mr. Wolf sleeps happily in his bed with rabbits curled up on each bedpost, this will have children spotting new delights for many a re-reading. - starred review, Horn Book on WHAT'S THE TIME, MR. WOLF?
