Critical Reviews

This thought-provoking friendship story is in praise of pockets--specifically, pockets for girls. The illustrations make you want to linger over the girls' found objects. The ending is perfect. Fashion-and-feminist-forward. -- Booklist

Digitally finished multimedia spreads offer appealing characters and handsome patterns of warm color to detail the many uses of pockets--including "discovering together. Each and every day." -- Publishers Weekly

This story might ignite a passion for pockets in kids who enjoy collecting things they find in their environments; it could also spark terrific conversations if used in a classroom before a hike or field trip. -- School Library Journal
