Reviews:

“Soffer’s books are interesting not only for their visual quality but for their witty and effortless humor. In a book market concerned first and foremost with conveying an educational message, , Soffer’s amusing approach is truly  refreshing…Soffer’s characters are grouchy but funny, innocent yet sobered – thanks in large part to the ironic gap between the text and the illustrations.” – Israel Hayom  

​

“A brilliant, funny, and wise book.” – Time Out Israel

“He got it right again, Gilad Soffer. After my enthusiasm for Duck’s Vacation and Rabbit, I’m thrilled to sing the praises of his new book, which will delight children and parents alike. [C]harming storytelling, delightful illustrations and playful nods to the reader throughout.”  – Marmelada
