--Sun-Sentinal

"Malone's richly colored, opaque watercolors embellish the dancers' magic by showing flying snowflake women and a mouse king who is more villainously rodent-like than the usual stage version...provides a good entry-point before attending a performance as well as a chance to relive the experience afterward."
---Horn Book

"Paddywack...is full of personality: his facial expressions and body language speak volumes. With an enjoyable story so close to reality, and to the dreams of those who yearn for a pony of their own, this is sure to find readers."
