Review:

I had the pleasure of sharing this delightful story with my preschool class, and it was an instant hit. The children fell in love with Al and Sal and waited anxiously for Maddie to discover the secret in her sock drawer! Flying squirrels just might become our new favorite animal and we hope that we'll get to share more adventures with Al and Sal! --Casey Cannatello, Preschool Teacher

This is a cute, creative, engaging and entertaining story. The rhyme scheme enhances it and makes it fun for young readers. A gem of a book for all ages! --Kim Belmonte, Primary Teacher
