The Corner of My Eye

The narrative leaves the reader feeling a little off-kilter, reminiscent perhaps of the experience of early onset dementia or Alzheimer's disease. While younger children may miss the themes and import of this book. it is a visual feast that leaves a lasting impression. * CBCA: Reading Time *
The illustrations are varied, vivid and amazing. The full-page pictures of the various rooms provide hours of fun finding all the funny little things hidden in them. You can spend days looking and discussing the things in Thompson's illustrations and this is no exception. Not a book for young children, this will enchant and enthrall older children...A wonderful addition to the Colin Thompson collection. Highly Recommended. * ReadPlus *
Colin Thompson has written this story so subtly and emotionally. I've turned the pages many times to look at the incredibly sensitive, detailed and sometimes fun illustrations. Five stars is not enough for the book. It is a work of art. * Good Reading *
For collectors of extraordinary picture books, this is for you. Lovers of books that move you to tears and touch the heart, and those that want to give a gift that will be treasured, this is a priceless gem for every collection. * Kids' Book Review *
a carnivalesque and surrealist trip through consciousness and what is hidden, what slips by when we don't pay attention... much greater than a 'spot-it book'; it contains more pathos, strange beauty and kaleidoscopic gaudiness. * Magpies *
