Reviews

"Clever, playful, with a mordant edge, this is sophisticated silliness in warm shades of red and yellow, asking sly questions about the relationship between words, pictures and meaning." -- The Guardian
"At turns sublime and ridiculous This is a terrific little book that will amuse all out of proportion to its size." -- The Wall Street Journal
"Eric Veilles droll illustrations are vibrant and bold, and he leaves plenty of space for readers to interpret whats happened in between." -- Readings (AUS)

"Unexpected giggles await with every page turn."
