Critics Review
A magnificent book that is as captivating and witty as it is beautifully illustrated. I loved it. * Peter Frankopan *
It is clearly a great achievement with some incredibly beautiful page design. * Alexis Deacon *
Oh wow, Neil! Oh WOW! It’s wonderful. * Gillian Cross, adapter of the text of The Iliad and The Odyssey *
Wow! This is an out of the box quirky stunner. One of Kind by Neil Packer is a charming story about sorting and classifying the world around but ultimately it’s a story about what makes us…us. The amazing art invites hours of page-gazing. Double Wow!!! * Simon Smith, Primary School Principal *
Recommended for any library. Readers will understand the basics of genealogy through a straightforward narrative. * School Library Journal *
