Kirkus Reviews, on reviewing Nellie Belle, wrote: "Sunny, reassuring fare for recent graduates from toddlerdom itching to leave safe harbors (for a time, at least) to check out new horizons of their own".[1] Publishers Weekly found it "an energetic, romping story from start to finish, yet counterbalanced by the soothing repetitions and rhythms of Fox’s verse".[2]
Nellie Belle has also been reviewed by the following magazines: Booklist,[3] School Library Journal,[4] Horn Book Guides,[5] and Magpies.[6]
