"A must-have, with a curious set of images to stimulate the imagination of young and old... Every school will want this extraordinary book."
"Allsburg's soft back and white illustrations have a dream-like quality manipulating light, perspective and texture to create unsettling drawings. The stories mix interiors and exteriors, portraits and landscapes, all full of wonder and mysteries to be solved."
"Every page tantalises, sparks ideas, plays with your mind, intrigues and inspires."
"Extremely puzzling as well as stimulating . . . Certainly an invitation for individual interpretations and expansions in almost any media."
"An innovative and useful book, especially for using as stimulus for young people's writing."
