"Allinson's simple, straight-forward text is complimented
perfectly by Reid's rollicking Plasticine compositions.
The layering of the materials creates a marvellous textural
illusion and - especially in a scene depicting a caterpillar
bounding away from Effie's big voice - some hilarious
perspectives."
Kids Toronto
This familiar story - we are all on a quest to find
compatible friends - is crafted so that Effie's problem
believably becomes an asset in a particular circumstance.
Much fun is added to the story by Barbara Reid's inventive
Plasticine pictures."
Quill & Quire
"Effie is a gem!!"
Canadian Library Association
"This is a charming story about being different
and how every different characters can be friends."

"What makes this book irresistible is the
wonderful artwork of Barbara Reid, of "Playing
with Plasticine" fame. Her skilful use of
Plasticine to produce colour and detail brings
the characters is the story to life. ...Interest
is further added by such design details as printing
all Effie's words in bold-face type and the caterpillar's
words wiggling across the page."
