    I wasn't impressed while we liked Noy for example. Nice design. A bit dark but we liked it. I didn't like the story.

    At 2.5, one of the two little ones was a bit scared of it, but after a few months, she likes it quite a bit. It is the only rhyming book we have, and it is very funny. The illustrations are dark, which again is the only such dark book we have, but it is beautiful and interesting

  • Wonderful illustrations. A bit dark for small children and the story is not fully understandable by a small child.

    Atmospheric and with measured verse, with unique illustrations from our favorite author-illustrator, it has become one of our favorite books. I would recommend it for children aged 1.5-4 years because it has a small amount of text. While it initially appears a bit dark, the illustrations play a nice game with shadows to end with "be careful not to get confused, the eye sees what you think", teaching that things are not always as they seem.

  • Another book by this author that was loved immediately by my 3-year-old daughter and she wants us to read it every day. Both the rhyming text and the vibrant illustrations keep the child's interest.
