"In Roeder's skillful hands, the little box turtle offers an inarguable message about the power of friendship and the importance of working with what one has." --Publishers Weekly
"Roeder renders an adorable, rosy-cheeked (all four cheeks, when he's going about shell-free) Terrance in colorful pencil and acrylics, bringing the cute along with plenty of laughs . . . A sweet, affirming message brings things together in the end." --Booklist
"Shelled or not, though, Terrance is an appealing figure, with gentle lines, a soft green color, and a cute little booty. Terrance's makeover of his box may inspire youngsters to want to create a 'shell' for themselves, so have a few cardboard boxes and markers on hand for crafty turtle enthusiasts." --BCCB
"This suggested general purchase supports social-emotional learning with confidence building through awareness of the character's uniqueness and ability to think 'out of the box.'" --School Library Journal
