Critic Reviews
“" Top 10 Children's Book 2013 - New York Times Book Review "A particularly enticing blend of mystery and magic. . . the kind of classic adventure that allows children to triumph over convention and common sense." - Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "Here, with a becoming respect for children's curiosity about the forces that govern the world and their role in that grand scheme, Ungerer takes young readers to a place they have never been before, and he does the same for the picture book." - Leonard S. Marcus, The New York Times Book Review "An atmospheric, folkloric adventure. . . this is a poignant, magical gift for all of us." - Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review "”
"It's marvellous and it's cuckoo and it's that kind of veracity that's always made for good children's literature."-Maurice Sendak on Tomi Ungerer's work
"Tomi Ungerer has been proving the pen is mightier than the sword for six decades - [a] style marked by great originality of illustrative technique, and a use of language that refused to patronise his young readers."-John Dunnng, Dazed & Confused
