Revue de presse :

Gaiman knocks it out of the park again with this imaginative story. (School Library Journal)

This would also make a wonderful readaloud, but don’t be surprised if the kids insist that it be read in one sitting--and maybe with a side of cookies and milk. (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books)

“[A] delightful tale.” (Wall Street Journal)

“If your kids still allow you to read aloud to them, this book is for you.” (Newsday)

“[A]n astounding tale...an absolute delight to read out loud....one part Douglas Adams, one part Doctor Who, and one part The Usual Suspects.” (boingboing.com)

“It’s hard not to love a novel that borrows equally from Calvin and Hobbes and The Usual Suspects. If you read only one book this year, a story with dancing dwarfs is always a wise choice.” (Kirkus Reviews)
