"A plucky and self-determined girl confronts an unexpected houseguest in this imaginative tale reminiscent of Roald Dahl and Maurice Sendak. This story sure to spark a multitude of questions and great discussions about setting and respecting boundaries, accepting oneself and others, and finding friendship in unlikely places." ―Children's Literature

"...the duo stands out as evidence, proof that there are sometimes new characters in children's literature who seem to have been there forever...the charming and timeless allure of [Abbott's] two animals shows that she has assimilated the beauty of readings from the past. — Marine Landrot of Telerama (translated from the French)

"Both animals, drawn standing upright with rosy cheeks, are appealing and accessible protagonists who evoke some of the great friendships of children’s literature. Gentle and effective."  ― Kirkus Reviews

“Abbott’s soft, cartoon illustrations perfectly match and set the tone. [Over the Moon] is a zany twist on an age-old tale of growing up and realizing that family means the ones who choose, love, and raise you.” —School Library Journal
