"Kaufman gives children a fantastical experience with his collection of magical creatures... The author presents it all in heightened language that helps build a sense of awe... The siblings' affection for each other is sweetly depicted, as well... illustrations have the colorful, flat feeling of pale Matisse paintings, emphasizing the narrative's air of strange adventure. A warmhearted, encouraging book about the wonders of imagination." (Kirkus Reviews)
