"[A] delightful tale." - Wall Street Journal
"If your kids still allow you to read aloud to them, this book is
for you." - Newsday
"[A]n astounding tale...an absolute delight to read out loud....one
part Douglas Adams, one part Doctor Who, and one part The Usual
Suspects." - boingboing.com
"Gaiman's oversize, tongue-in-cheek narrative twists about like the
impromptu nonsense it is, with quick turns, speed bumps, and one
go-for-broke dairy deus ex machina. Young fills the pages with
sketchy, highly stylized images, stretched and pointy, bringing the
crazed imaginations to life with irrepressible energy. Children
will devour this one, with or without milk." - Booklist
"It's hard not to love a novel that borrows equally from Calvin and
Hobbes and The Usual Suspects. If you read only one book this year,
a story with dancing dwarfs is always a wise choice." - Kirkus
Reviews
Gaiman knocks it out of the park again with this imaginative story.
- School Library Journal
This would also make a wonderful readaloud, but don't be surprised
if the kids insist that it be read in one sitting--and maybe with a
side of cookies and milk. - Bulletin of the Center for Children's
Books
