Reviews"Eriksson's illustrations convey intelligence, sensitivity and amusement in the young heroine." -- The New York Times (US) "The delicate illustrations echo the feel of the book beautifully and give lots to look at and discuss." -- Parents In Touch (UK) "An evocative nod to the power of lateral thinking and flights of fancy." -- Kirkus Reviews (US) "[The] skilful combination of text and illustration is book design of the highest order.
