From Booklist:
Moxie sure enough has moxie, accepting all manner of dares and double dares from classmates, while Prudence is more, well, prudent in her approach to life. Even though the pair are friends and do lots of things together, the shyer Prudence is sometimes annoyed by her boisterous companion. This very real issue that children face in friendship is well handled as Moxie helps Prudence work through her fear of storms, and Prudence, realizing that even brave, blustery Moxie has fears, helps her friend conquer being afraid of horses. Cantone’s whimsical mixed-media illustration style makes clever use of stitching in the intricately bordered pages. The art subtly complements the text with its use of opposites, playing bold colors and squiggly and straight lines against one another. Although not addressed in the text, the illustrator pictures Moxie as small in stature and Prudence as large, adding to the book’s strong theme of opposite types coming together in friendship. Grades K-3. --Patricia Austin
