Review
"Whether she is depicting Little Hobbin in his crib, conversing with the moon, or Kipling’s Djinn creating a hump, Zwerger portrays key moments in imaginative ways. While the intended audience for these stories spans a wide range, libraries needing to replace the originals will find this a worthy purchase."
― Booklist, Kay Weisman
"It’s a fresh breath into timeless text...The physical book is a work of art...This is one to savor, to celebrate, and to remember."-Design of the Picture Book, Carter Higgins
