School Library Journal
Schwarz is keenly aware of the joy in planning and plotting an adventure, and the banter between her leads offers laughs throughout.
Publishers Weekly
Throughout, Schwarz s pencil, crayon, and watercolor illustrations adopt a childlike style that suggests the pals are playing pretend (rather than embarking on a fantastic journey). The pictures are at their finest in a pair of wordless spreads at the center of the book that show Anna and Crocodile diving down to a shipwreck. These rich, detailed illustrations stand in contrast with other text-heavy spreads of humorous dialogue between the friends, and they invite careful examination.
The Horn Book
Anna s undaunted enthusiasm and the playful, joyful celebration of imagination make this a sheer delight.
--Booklist Online
As Crocodile tries to explain it and the two make maps and do an undersea dive, the banter is as cleverly constructed as Schwarz s layered, explosively colorful illustrations.
The New York Times Book Review
How to Find Gold is a treasure. Brown-skinned Anna and green-skinned Crocodile could not be any cuter and the two are dropped into wonderfully rough pencil, crayon and watercolor backdrops, often quite scribbly and slightly unfinished for effect, but gorgeous, splendidly colorful and bursting with life. German-born, London-dwelling Viviane Schwarz (There Are Cats in This Book) takes a flight of fancy and soars. --Shelf Awareness for Readers
