Industry Reviews

". . . a diverting and different read-aloud." --Kirkus "The upbeat tone, oddball details, and Pitkaenen's humorous b&w cartoons combine to create a strange but entertaining romp that will surprise readers at every turn." --Publishers Weekly "The first in a duology, Tuutikki's book won the Arvid Lydecken prize in Finland and will have wide appeal among young readers. Within its pages, children outsmart adults, sense the vulnerable emotions of the monsters, and come to depend upon themselves and new friends. Loose-lined ink illustrations add extra humor to this imaginative fantasy, and plentiful dialogue makes it prime for reading aloud." -- Booklist --
