From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3-- A little girl and her cat are awakened by an unusual noise one summer night. Fearful at first, but curious too, the two companions slip outside on the following night to confront the noisemaker, and Sonia recognizes that such a bushy red tail could only belong to a fox. The awe and wonder of seeing a wild animal in familiar surroundings and the challenge of conquering the qualms of facing a new and potentially frightening situation are well handled. Pastel watercolors portray a comfortably rumpled little Sonia, a sleek and smiling Barnie, and a lazy suburban setting. If Barnie and the fox border on the anthropomorphic, they do so in a way that an imaginative child would easily understand. In a pleasantly coincidental ending Sonia, flush with the extraordinary event and her own courage, is rewarded in the morning with the cereal box prize--a toy fox. A good choice for a bedtime read-aloud, and especially appropriate for urban children first experiencing a rural setting. --Carla Kozak, San Francisco Public Library

From Publishers Weekly
When a strange howling noise awakens Sonia, her curious, courageous nature compels her to investigate the potentially dangerous mystery. With the support of her faithful--somewhat cowardly--cat Barnie, Sonia decides that this nocturnal creature must be a wolf, and she eagerly awaits the next nightfall to confront the culprit head-on. The surprise that Sonia and Barnie discover teaches them a valuable lesson about fear, friendship and the unexpected. In both her text and illustrations, Pank's debut book brims with humor. Her parenthetical asides provide amusing commentary--Sonia speaks to Barnie "very slowly (like her teachers did when someone had been sick or a pair of scissors was missing)." The sketchy, suitably childlike artwork depicts Sonia and Barnie in a variety of comical positions: playing hide-and-seek, peering out of windows, cowering under the covers. This lighthearted adventure offers fun and suspense aplenty. Ages 4-7.
