Book 1: Ragweed Publishers Weekly: “Consummate storyteller Avi outdoes himself in this prequel to Poppy and Poppy and Rye, cutting loose with a crackerjack tale that's pure delight from start to finish.” |
 |
Book 2: Poppy Winner of the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award Booklist (Starred Review): “A good old-fashioned story with an exciting plot, well-drawn characters, and a satisfying ending, Avi's latest novel will please readers on many levels.”

Book 3: Poppy and Rye The Horn Book Magazine: “This is a sequel worthy of its predecessor.” |
 |
Book 4: Ereth’s Birthday School Library Journal: “This charming tale is a wonderful addition to the chronicles of Dimwood Forest.” |
 |
Book 5: Poppy’s Return The Horn Book Magazine: “Avi gives his animal characters dimension, even surly Junior. Although Poppy spends most of the story reacting to events, there’s still enough external drama to keep readers turning the pages, and bad-boy Junior is hard to resist. As usual, Floca’s attentive pencil drawings are a fitting accompaniment to the story.” |

Book 6: Poppy and Ereth Booklist: “Series fans will enjoy spending time with these endearing characters, and the end leaves the door open just a crack for further adventures. With much series backstory woven into the narrative, this stands alone; but fans won’t want to miss any of these tales.” |
