The watercolor-and-colored pencil illustrations are expressive, the places searched and animals involved quite varied, and the overall text flows smoothly from page to page. - BayViews
An original, charming and thoroughly entertaining picture book by the team of author Daniel Fehr and illustrator Benjamin Leroy for children ages 3 to 6, "A Big Help" will prove to be a delightfully and enduringly popular addition to family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library picture book collections. - Midwest Book Review
This is a book that relies on the partnership between words and pictures to tell the whole story. The illustrations are minimalistic and well done and could be used in lessons on friendship and mindset. - Kiss the Book
This story will lift spirits with its heartfelt message of friendship. Humorous illustrations follow the two animals across meadows and streams and through the forest as they encounter a bevy of woodland creatures but no teddy, proving that sometimes the real treasure is in the journey itself. - Foreword Reviews
Swiss-German author Fehr writes in English, his simple, wryly funny, patterned text lending itself to group participation. The real winners here, however, are Leroy's bold-outlined watercolor illustrations. From concerned, ever present Ladybug, never mentioned in the text, to the chuckle-inducing visual denouement, the Belgian artist's humor carries the tale in grand style. Badger's expression of joyful wonder as the world unfolds around him is a delight. - Kirkus Reviews Adding to readers' enjoyment, characters from previous encounters wander obliviously into new scenes, creating an engaging sense of continuity. The simultaneous release of both the Spanish (via Luis Amavisca's translation) and English editions is sure to be welcomed by classrooms and bilingual households alike. A big treat. - Kirkus Reviews
