Praise for Cozy in Love:“Filled with descriptive candor and Brett’s riveting, distinctive illustrative style, the kindhearted musk ox bull Cozy returns in this exciting companion story that proves how strength of heart is beloved by all. . . [Cozy’s] quick-thinking and care for his friend [will impress] readers with the value of acting out of compassion without the ambition for attention. . . Awe-inspiring detail of the frigid Alaskan landscape and its creatures will enchant readers.” —
School Library Journal “Embracing her signature style, Brett frames each watercolor and gouache image with a rustic border. Side panels of spot art on each page work to foreshadow plot elements and introduce details of the expansive Alaskan setting—accurately drawn puffins, seaweed, starfish, and, fittingly, heart-shaped stones.” —
Publishers Weekly“An excellent winter read for Jan Brett fans.” —
