    “ This most eloquent play is magical, charming, and certainly not just for children. Although an important lesson is learned at the end, the beauty is in the language, the characters, and the relationship of these unusual creatures. ”

    “ This marvelous children's play – in verse – is another winner in the magical canon of Cross magicality. And like the best children's literature, it works on levels that speak to both kids and adults, and is entertaining for both. Did I already say magical? Who cares? I'll say it again: this is a truly magical work. ”
