AWARDS & REVIEWS

Reviews

"This father/son team has concocted a delicious cat-and-mouse tale in which small outsmarts large. Visually stunning, the period setting, captivating illustrations, and tongue-in-cheek dialogue create a delectable tail, er, tale of one-upmousemanship to be savored."

Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review, 01/09/2004

"The story, rarefied and arch, revels in its elegant surroundings."

New York Times, 01/02/2005

"Readers will relish the formal language as a tongue-in-cheek counterpoint to a very funny, if macabre, story. ... A truly scrumptious treat."

School Library Journal, Starred Review, 01/09/2004

"Father-son team Frank and Devin Asch here team up for a cat-and-mouse tale that showcases the younger Asch’s lush digital artistic talents, alongside the elder’s witty text."
