"Readers will delight as each flap reveals more secret flaps and the story rolls on with suspenseful cliffhangers."
-- Youth Services Book Review"From France via New Zealand, a surreal or, perhaps, metaphorical journey, rich in surprises."
-- Kirkus Reviews"A book of the utmost comfort and daydream-drift. I love this book so much, I wish I were the richest woman in the world and could buy a copy for anyone who needs a picture-book comfort boost."
-- Poetry Box"Little fingers will be itching to touch (Perrin's) tempting cut-outs of storybook A-frame houses, a faceted diamond and a towering mousse cake. And Perrins technique of embedding these paper flaps within flaps within yet more flaps creates an Alice in Wonderland sensation of journeying deep into a secret place."
