"Had she wished to, in addition to her immortal achievements in
other genres, Woolf could have written the greatest children's
books of the age. There is much to suggest this,
beginning of course with her extaordinary powers of imagination and
verbal invention,
the vividness and clarity of her prose, and the hushed, distilled
quality that makes you
bring the book a little closer to your nose."--Sigrid Nu�ez, The
Mrs. Dalloway Reader "A perfectly realized blend of text and
illustration."--Kirkus Reviews "A joyful tale of
transformation."--Booklist
