Editorial Reviews

"Engaging...bright, mixed-media illustrations."

CM: Canadian Review of Materials

“Whimsical multimedia illustrations are often engaging.”

Kirkus Reviews

“A lovely tale of adventure, mystery, and, of course, forgetfulness, it’s destined to give you the travel bug.”

Montreal Review of Books

“Imagination and daydreaming are the keys to unlocking this around the world trip. Written in prose, with exceptional illustrations, only the reader's imagination can be better than this book.”
