"The creator's first graphic novel for children is personified by a gorgeous, chaotic ballet of ink line drawings.... Feiffer's sui generis comic temperament--a mix of irascibility, introspection, and longing--makes it hard to put this one down." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"There's nothing out there quite like it." -- Booklist (starred review)

"Readers will find the imagination and creativity throughout make this a worthwhile addition to any library." -- School Library Journal

"Oh, the expression Feiffer manages to coax out of a few keen strokes. His characters are unforgettable, and the pictures burst with the sort of broad physical comedy that children just love." -- Booklist (starred review)

"This follow-up is more quietly thoughtful, but Feiffer's linework is as fine and fluid as ever, and his canny placement of speech balloons gives even the trees personality." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
