— Review of Captain Congo and the Crocodile King Ruth Starke , 2008 single work picture book Jodi Wiley writes a favourable review of this graphic picture book, describing Holfeld's illustrations as engaging and filmic while using his skill to 'get the characters' emotions just right, so that you can deduce thoughts and feelings from their facial expressions'. She labels it an adventure book in which Starke's 'assured writing' guides the reader 'through the narrative effortlessly'.
