"Lovingly written and painted, this strange and silly book will delight
everyone who reads it. The grown-up people who read it may find it
confusing. But young people, I think, will understand that in its
strangeness and silliness it mirrors our own strange and silly world.
--Eleanor Davis, author of Stinky and How to Be Happy
