Críticas:

"In his debut as an author, illustrator Litwin (My Name Is Not Isabella) takes a goofy premise and runs with it. . . .Litwin lays it on thick with the bovine puns. . .and the ample humor and some revelations about Dakota's backstory should leave readers looking forward to subsequent books." Publishers Weekly, January 3, 2014

"Litwin's light tale of friendship is full of Hawaii-inspired cow puns and reads like the intro to a series. . . New-to-chapters readers will gladly join the herd and say 'Lo'hai' (hello) to Bermooda and its denizens." Kirkus Reviews, December 15, 2013

"Litwin packs a lot of action into a little book through the pair's attempts to get Dakota home, while still making both Chuck and Dakota well-rounded and adding bumps along the way in their relationship." The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, March 2014

"Printed in short chapters of generously leaded type strewn with vignettes of a diverse anthropomorphic cast, Litwin's tale not only builds a properly suspenseful, storm-wrecked climax, but is udderly loaded with bovine wordplay. Only a 'kau'pai' would fail to chortle, and that's no bull." Booklist, March 15, 2014

Reseña del editor:

Bermooda is a tropical island that is undiscovered by the outside world and is primarily populated by walking, talking cows of human intelligence. The cows came to the island hundreds of years ago by a ship carrying livestock that wrecked upon the shoals around the southern tip of the island. They have since formed their own quaint, mootpian tropical island society. Life is good on Bermooda, and the residents are mostly content to be unknowing of and unknown to the world beyond their horizons. Bermooda has no outsiders,” and most prefer to keep it that way. That is, until Chuck ventures into the boneyard alone and discovers a young human boy who has been washed up unconscious on the sandbar! The young boy’s name is Dakota and doesn’t seem as scary as Chuck thought humans should be. Chuck decides to cow-mouflage” Dakota to pass as a bovine in town. Dakota and Chuck become fast friends, but trouble is brewing and Dakota’s true identity is at risk of being discovered. In the end, Chuck's family adopts Dakota as their own calf.
