From Booklist:
First, some introductions: meet Wooby, a brown-and-white dog with a pet goldfish, Wendy; and Peep, a yellow-and-white duck with a pet iguana, Ricardo. When party animal Peep moves in next door to quiet Wooby and says, “You think the neighbors will mind my sound system?” you know Wooby is in for a tough time. Peep decides to have a housewarming party, but the neighbors all come up with hilarious excuses for not attending. Squirrel RSVPs, “I’m alphabetizing my nut collection that day.” Everyone is a no-show except Wooby and Wendy, who feel it’s rude not to attend. Peep’s attempts at friendship go awry—he accidentally knocks down Wooby’s tidy house—but in the end, a shared love of playing Go Fish brings both parties together. Peterson’s warm, saturated illustrations incorporate panels and word balloons, giving this the feel of a picture book–comic book hybrid. Fun details abound, from the Two Dogs and a Moving Truck moving company (bulldogs in do rags!) to Peep’s collection of animal-themed superhero comics (Batdog & Robin). Make a little room on the shelf for this winning tale of unlikely friendship. Preschool-Grade 2. --Ann Kelley
