* “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.”

"Yuly delivers plenty of page-turning visual drama…Artfully placed text mimics the pelicans’ path as they fly, dive, “SPLASH!,” and scoop, enhancing the book’s visual delight and the appeal of decoding words and images as readers follow the pelicans from page to page."
