"The story allows Yankee Doodle Dandy® and Yankee Doodle Dolly® to dream about living on a 'lucky star,' where they can eat, sleep, laugh, and play whenever they wish, without restriction. Yet, within their fantasy, the story also celebrates the joyous aspects of everyday life on Earth and creates an atmosphere of love and cooperation between the hero and heroine."
"Your full-page illustrations are brilliantly colorful and offer an intriguing mix of familiar objects to name (such as pet animals and household furnishings) and less familiar concepts to learn and explain (such as heaven and outer space). Your inclusion of computers and satellite dishes among the illustrations respects the knowledge of today's children, many of whom have been exposed to such technology even before entering school."
