- Hilary Bluestein-Lyons:15 Jun. 2021“ This most eloquent play is magical, charming, and certainly not just for children. Although an important lesson is learned at the end, the beauty is in the language, the characters, and the relationship of these unusual creatures. ”
- Doug DeVita:27 Nov. 2020“ This marvelous children's play – in verse – is another winner in the magical canon of Cross magicality. And like the best children's literature, it works on levels that speak to both kids and adults, and is entertaining for both. Did I already say magical? Who cares? I'll say it again: this is a truly magical work. ”
- Emily McClain:25 Nov. 2020“ Cross creates a completely enchanting tale, with charming and surprising verse dialogue. It’s an impressive, salty confection that delights as only a giant slug play can. ❤️ ”
- Scott Sickles:17 Nov. 2020“ The first thing that hits you is the visual: a giant slug carrying a tadpole in a goldfish bowl on its back while towing a gerbil ball with a fairy behind! One can’t wait to see production photos of the imaginative costumes and setpieces!
The characters are adorable. Lou the slug, a gastropodal Eeyore with Protestant work ethic, may bicker with Phil the fairy-creature, but when trouble strikes they pull together to solve the problem. Pollywog the tadpole has one line – enough to steal the show! A great lesson and a treat for all ages! ”
