Reviews

"If you look at the work of Tomi Ungerer, it's passionate, it's personal, it's marvelous and it's cuckoo, and it's that kind of veracity that's always made for good children's literature." -Maurice Sendak in "The New York Times" 'Delightful bedtime reading for the under-sevens.' The Daily Telegraph
