From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4 Rudy and his monkey Buster "live on an island on a small green planet in the middle of space." In their secret treehouse are two tiny "dolls" that look exactly like them. The look-alikes go into their identical secret treehouse, and while Rudy and Buster watch through a tiny window, the look-alikes have a series of adventures with a fish-bird, a two-faced monster with fountain-pen feet and other strange creatures. The look-alikes return, Rudy and Buster put them back in the "warm and cozy" toy chest and return home to their parents. Drescher's scrawly full-color illustrations, with many frenetic scribbles within and without the borders, are filled with activity. The changing perspectives and busyness of the pictures, the Escher-esque stairway, the splashes and doodles and stick figures create a sensation of chaos and confusion. The text is spare, descriptive and unremarkable; one sentence or phrase per large page. The book seems to be trying for a combination of humor, scariness and novelty, but the effect is merely bizarre. If the point is that we are all small creatures being watched and manipulated by larger ones like us, as we tumble through life battered by absurdity, it will be lost on the picture book audience. Susan H. Patron, Los Angeles Public Library
