Editorial Reviews

"Roberton's premise is as sublime as it is simple, with a subtle message. Brilliantly, the illustrations vary just slightly from one version of the story to the next; it's their juxtaposition with the radically different textual perspective that generates the laughs. Totally delightful." — Kirkus Reviews, STARRED


"This funny, thought-provoking British story exquisitely demonstrates the importance of understanding multiple perspectives." — School Library Journal, "Outstanding International Books: Presenting the 2016 USSBY Selections"


"It's a smart and not-too-serious introduction to the idea of empathy-and boundaries." — Publishers Weekly
