"...Saltzberg's clever conceit makes the metaphorical literal--and
palpable--for very young readers. An absolutely nifty invitation to
children to create and share their own wee books."-- "Kirkus
Reviews" (2/1/2015 12:00:00 AM)
"Charming childlike illustrations appear to be created with pen and
ink, watercolors, and crayon and are simple and
appealing...Creative children will be inspired to put their own
thoughts and pictures down on paper."--Maryann Owen "Booklist"
"Readers may well be empowered to write their very own stories or
books."-- "School Library Journal"
"The novel format...proves that self-publishing was a kid thing
long before adults claimed it and should be an effective prompt for
family and classroom activities."-- "Publishers Weekly" (2/2/2015
