"Jennings' breezy story is more a celebration of friendship than a look at the artistic process or musical collaboration, and perhaps in straddling both themes, it lacks some cohesion. Still, there is plenty of entertaining silliness to share, particularly in Cordell's (Another Brother, 2012) pencil-and-watercolor cityscapes, expressive animal characters, and droll urban details, including a cockroach bellhop, a cutaway view of Rat's basement duplex, and the crowd of nocturnal city slickers enjoying ice cream and the late-night jazz show" (Booklist).

Although there was a chaotic storyline, there were fun moments and great artwork. Maybe a book doesn't always have to be about the plot as long as there are other redeeming factors like the artwork, humor, and syntax.
