Critics Review
“Tjong-Khing’s watercolor images have a delicate wit and warmth, imbuing the book with an emotional quality most search-and-finds lack.“—The New York Times Book Review
“Pleasingly fragmented and comically cohesive, spreads rendered in fine lines follow the antics, making for a set of brain-teasing mini-quests that invite readers to consider who arrived first, what belonged to whom, and how they’ll all arrive at the titular conceit.“—Publishers Weekly
“Twists and turns abound, and sharp-eyed readers will delight in poring over all the possibilities and filling in the blanks… A delicious tale that will reward attentive readers.“—Kirkus Reviews
