All of Graeme Base's books are absolutely stunning from the story to the illustrations. The story is wonderful and only exceeded by the gorgeous illustrations. This book can be read cover to cover but then it is also fun to go back and solve on the hidden puzzles. ( )

I love Base books. Not only is the artwork stunning, he always has a search and find that goes with the story. But he doesn’t tell you that to begin with, he makes you wait til the end to let you know what you need to seek. And most things are harder to find than Waldo. Plus he tells a story that is so important. This one is that looks only really matter to one person. That you need to love yourself. ( )

I thought it was both sweet and hilarious, but the hidden objects were usually too difficult for my older eyes to make out. I appreciated the pronunciation guide in the back, and the clues to the extra details, too. ( )

A beautifully illustrated book (as expected from Graeme Base) about being happy with who you are and what you have & also accepting people as they are. Great for 3-6 year olds ( )
