Review
“Enormously satisfying [and] wholly original...this Lithuanian import portrays the friendship developing between a boy and a fox (...reminiscent of The Little Prince). There is much to savor: the honesty of unspoken ruminations, challenging dialogue, and myriad unexpected details.”
- Kirkus Reviews
“This sweet story of friendship will forever keep children hoping to find adventure.”
- Midwest Book Review
“Fresh and unexpected... A parade of people, vehicles, and animals through Kiudulaite’s colorful digital collages contributes to the atmosphere of bouncy unpredictability.”
- Publishers Weekly
“The outstanding writing in this book reflects a deep respect for childhood and the importance of adaptability and absurdity.”
- 2019 Mildred L. Batchelder Award
