"Wiesner is a master of fantastical wordless (or nearly so)
adventures, and what seems like a simple event becomes a series of
might-have-beens and possibilities… Readers will interpret it any
way they wish, perhaps differently with each perusal… Wonderfully
imaginative and intriguing. – Kirkus, starred review"
