'The simple text uses alliteration, repetition, and descriptive action words aimed at early primary school readers. Scruffy is an appealing hairy little terrier and quite a contrast to the elegant and decorous Silk. The hand-drawn pencil illustrations by Kaz Clarke bring the story to life, with Scruffy's expressive eyes and Silk's monobrow and bow tied around the top knot on her head.' Nean McKenzie, Buzz Words Magazine.
