Very short. Very cute.
It took me three tries, but now I can appreciate and enjoy 'Dewdrop' for what it is.
I love K. O'Neill, and I am growing to love the sudden rise in popularity of axolotls, when they look like pink, cutie-worm-pie cartoons. Seriously, they are as marketable and merchantable (enchantable!) as unicorns, cats, and dinosaurs currently.
(My dad had axolotls as pets when he was young, and he knows their true, not-so-cute nature. Of the creepy, cannibalistic kind...)
'Dewdrop' isn't that well developed, due to, again, its fairly short length. But it is an adorable little, low stakes tale set in a pond, abundant with tiny, dewy-eyed fishies, turtles, tortoises, newts, amphibians, crabs, crayfish, and other water babies. Including otters...for some reason.
'Dewdrop' is nowhere near as deep (pun unintended) as K. O'Neill's fantastical graphic novels, but as a picture book/comic for younger children, it's sweet and it works.
Dewdrop the axolotl is definitely mascot material. He's a lovable, friendly, helpful, encouraging sweetie-bell.
This deserves to be a series, starring Dewdrop and his friends.
Nice, positive, and swimmingly cute stuff!
Final Score: 3/5
