Review(s):
The Alpactory’s wacky employees are tons of fluffy fun...Readers will want to visit the Alpactory even if they’re not going on a trip. This colorful new spin on anxiety management strategies is a great addition to any collection. 
Chan [is a] skillful a wielder of adorableness....[G]oofy, endearing, and good-hearted.
A humorous reminder that all we really need is already within us.
This comforting narrative acknowledges the anxiety inherent in trying something unfamiliar, then offers encouragement and reassurance.
