Reviews

"Provides sentiment with a gently sardonic edge ... Ungerer's eye for detail and gentle wit is as fresh as it was 50 years ago." The Sunday Telegraph "[a] beautiful Christmas story which will make it an ideal present or book to share and read aloud for the festive season." Outside In Inside Out "If you look at the work of Tomi Ungerer, it's passionate, it's personal, it's marvelous and it's cuckoo, and it's that kind of veracity that's always made for good children's literature." -Maurice Sendak, in 'The New York Times' "The kind of inventive story that will have kids asking for repeated readings." - Karen MacPherson, 'Scripps Howard News Service'
