Review:

This sweet, deceptively simple story effectively portrays the cycle of life to young children, likely imparting a sense of hope and wonder. Kirkus Reviews"

Interesting perhaps because of the deep-seated feeling of betrayal our hero suffers in the course of things. It s a very childlike understanding of an impossible promise and I like how it s handled. Elizabeth Bird, blogs.slj.com"
