Reviews
Kirkus Reviews:
“Avi at his most Margaret Wise Brown-esque, in nine offbeat, gnomic tales, drawn from the 30 in his first, same-named collection (1970) . . . these are daffy and nonsensical . . . with bright, swirling, vigorously brushed scenes reminiscent of color-drenched Chagall. These cheerfully unconventional, irresistibly buoyant episodes will brighten any young child's outlook—and cheer up some adults too.”
