From Publishers Weekly
She's a swan, and he's a duck. She tries to be polite; he's clumsy. But even though they bicker, their friendship is rock-solid. Three short but overwritten sketches are built around misunderstandings or breaches of buddy etiquette that are warmly resolved by the final page; the last, The Garage Sale, in which Violet convinces shoppers not to buy any of Winston's merchandise because each piece is a memento of their friendship, is husband-and-wife team Sones (What My Mother Doesn't Know) and Tramer's funniest, albeit in a Disney Channel kind of way (That mug is... um... cursed! Violet tells a potential purchaser). Caldecott Medalist Raschka's (The Hello, Goodbye Window) watercolor-and-ink pictures bloom with lush, bright colors and dense detail, but as comedic vignettes, they fall short. The soft outlines and pastel-like textures not only blunt the humor but also blur the focus—Violet and Winston seem to disappear into their environments, as if they've been camouflaged. Ages 3–5. (Mar.)
