—James Burks, author of the Bird & Squirrel series "I loved every page of this fantastically paw-some story! Mellybean may be little but she's got a big heart. With characters you’ll adore, a fun-packed adventure, and loads of laughs on the way, Mellybean proves that anything is possible with a bit of help from your friends.” —
Sam Hay, author of the Spy Penguins and the Undead Pets series "Mellybean is an absolute delight. A fun frolic on every page."

"Subversive and hilarious. This story is funny enough to get away with being utterly adorable."
—Kirkus Reviews
"White’s debut is charming and sweet, with a plot that benefits from its predictability, allowing the reader to focus instead on lovable characters and White’s gifted composition and linework. Readers not yet ready for Jeff Smith’s Bone series are bound to fall for Melly and the gang."
—BCCB
"[A] charming comics series starter. The graphic novel may skew slightly younger... but Melly’s infectious enthusiasm, portrayed through straightforward art, makes her a very good dog, indeed."
