Review
“Akimbo is a very brave little boy who keeps his wits about him even when he's being stalked by a rhino.” ―New York Times Book Review
“Satisfying page-turners that celebrate kids' curiosity, love of adventure, and capacity to care for the world they inhabit.” ―Parenting magazine
“The tale's brevity, Smith's concise writing and Pham's evocative full-page half-tone illustrations make this an attractive choice for reluctant readers.” ―Publishers Weekly
