Beside the review below, that at KirkusReviews.com (contemporary to publication, undated online) is negative; that by Stephanie Loer The Boston Globe 1979-11-18 pA8 is positive. (Largely on the same grounds it seems to me: "delightfully anthropomorphic" animals, or "type-cast" ones; humor and satire, or failure of the same. --Pwendt 2018)
