I have quite a hard time believing that this short article on a children's literature landmark is
comprehensive or based on high-quality sources. The Reaction section simply quotes a few one-off reviews (one from an
archived version of a non-RS) without placing them in context in surveys of children's literature, retrospectives on McCloskey, or similar. The result is a grab-bag of quotes, not a thorough review of the critical impact. (This also means it is not particularly
well written, since to my mind being well written requires paragraphs to flow naturally from one to another and show a logical progression of ideas.) This is just a preliminary assessment and I will try to find some better sources soon.
