Review quotes
"A rich story both in appearance and theme. Even preschoolers can have a book discussion about this one." —Booklist "[Lionni] creates a world of adventure and consequence from a wonderously minimal set of objects and words." —Publishers Weekly "A fine, cheerful example of an ethical, philosophical idea cast as a delightful picture book." —The Horn Book Magazine "A delightful story. The book has potential for prompting classroom discussions." —School Library Journal From the Hardcover edition.
