'This exquisitely illustrated story is told with impressive economy, embracing as it does life, death, the universe and everything. And there's a happy ending.' --Guardian

'My little boy loves looking at the pictures and choosing all the different possible destinies. It's also helped him grasp the concept of other worlds and to find a context for understanding the cycle of life and death.' --Caduceus
