Very cute. I loved the poetry/rhyming writing. 

 

I only found it a bit too fast-paced. I would've expected a more 'outsider-ish' plot, based on the title and the quite 'lonely' cover. While the happy end comes with no surprise (it is a kids book, after all), and I'm glad about that, there just wasn't that much about "not belonging". 

 

It's still very sweet, with lovely art by Tommy Hardman. The watercolor-like style definitely looks amazing, gives it a traditional vibe.
