"A stunner.... The illustrations are wonderful." The Reading Teacher

"For fascinating illustration that beckons the eye and engages that necessary 'suspension of disbelief, ' this one can't be beat."

School Library Journal

"Schroeder's spacious paintings ... artfully complement and augment the simple story.... The spare rendering of the text and pictures, shot through with understated humor, holds broad appeal for personal reading and story-hour use."

The Horn Book
