Revue de presse

"Jeanne Willis' lyrical text and Tony Ross' almost ghostly pastel illustrations give this an entrancing, night-time feel" (Angels & Urchins)

"Great for reading aloud...Ross's illustrative style is the perfect match for Willis's imaginative storytelling" (Bookbag)

"The poetic simplicity of the prose, with its built-in repetitions and wordplay is well matched in painterly illustrations by Tony Ross" (Irish Times)

"A gentle poetic story accompanied by atmospheric illustrations, which held the attention of a couple of under threes." (The School Librarian)

"Beautifully crafted . . . memorable and highly desirable. 5 stars." (Books for Keeps)
