Watercolor illustrations, appearing as vignettes and both single- and double-page spreads, enhance the tale with lively, detailed depictions of Roland's woodsy home, his expressions of sadness and joy, the sweet-natured Lucy, and, of course, the incredible Milton/Popkin. Young readers will sympathize with Roland and strive to emulate his kindness to his friends, whether real or imaginary. Life lessons gently told. Lovely." --Kirkus Reviews<br><br>"Who is the 'Best Friend in the Whole World'? After reading this sweet, sensitive tale, children can decide for themselves." --New York Times<br><br>"The simplified forms, curving lines, and muted colors in the watercolor illustrations suit this gentle, rather melancholy story well.... An engaging picture book with craft-project potential." --Booklist<br>
