The illustrations, so filled with details and surprises they invite repeated scrutiny, have verity and vitality, poignancy and endearing humor." -- Booklist
"A remarkable joint tour de force." -- The Washington Post Book World
"This is possibly one of the funniest books in print." -- The Saturday Review
