“Repetitive, rhyming, call-and-response–style text makes this one a sure bet for the younger set…torn-paper, ink, and digital-media artwork is the standout here….Yuly imbues her subject with verve and energy; readers will be just as eager to see the results of the pelican’s flight as the birds waiting back home in the nest.” ―Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“Displays the pelican’s power and balletic grace…the pelican’s natural behavior supplies all the visual drama the story needs.” ―Publishers Weekly, starred review
