'O’Brien Panda books are one of the best places to start reading full-length books by yourself. Pandas form a series of more than 30 original stories, mainly by Irish writers, designed especially for young readers aged 5 plus, with plenty of illustrations and simple texts to help build confidence when tackling ‘proper’ stories for the first time, without teacher or parental instruction' - Evening Echo
'Young readers will warm to this simple tale about best friendship' - Books Ireland
'There’s plenty of fun.' - Books Ireland
'The excellent structure of the search provides enough highs and lows to keep the newly independent reader involved to the well-rounded end. Engaging.' - Irish Examiner
'A very gentle tale, reassuringly focusing on what can be done to solve the problem rather than dwelling on the sadness and anxiety a pet’s disappearance can bring.' - CBI's Bookfest Recommended Reading Guide
'Wonderfully captures that innocent world, ideal for those starting to read or enjoy being read short stories. The only pity is that it’s not in hardback because any child who gets this book will want to read it again and again and treasure it as much as Rory does his beloved Murphy.' - RTÉ Guide
