Critics Review
-
Younger readers will be held in thrall.
Scottish Sunday Herald
-
David Almond's poetic text...provides a background for imaginations to soar. A book for bedtime that entertains through wonder rather than high drma is an unusual treat; this is one to savour.
The Guardian
-
New and imaginative.
The Sunday Times
-
Beautifully constructed and eminently re-readable.
