Review
"From its glittery cover to its mind-bending, acrobatic pages, this circus tale delivers pure enchantment." —Scholastic Parent & Child Magazine
"Chapman's intricate, dew-dappled flowers recall turn-of-the-century illustration; it's an invitation to indulge in a flight back to another time." —Publishers Weekly on Little Blue
"Children (and adults) can be lost for a long and pleasurable time amid the sparkles."—Kirkus Reviews
"Dizzyingly elaborate illustrations can overpower stories, but Hunt and Moss’s tale is every bit as rich as Chapman’s (Little Blue) byzantine fantasies . . . It’s a provocative cross between Alice in Wonderland and Cirque du Soleil—hardcore whimsy, if such a thing is possible."—Publishers Weekly
"Breathtaking...Both children and adults [will] love this heartwarming tale that also teaches about friendship and taking chances." —Savannah.com
