Review
"In an appealing Canadian import, Gillmor takes an offbeat approach to the dreaded subject of music lessons. . . The illustrations, with their exaggerated figures, limpid watercolors, and nervous line, are full of great touches.
-- "Kirkus"
"Gilmour makes some excellent dry comedy out of his straightforward language. . . Marie-Louise Gay's illustrations suit the comic, improvisational tone and theme of the story. She uses scribbly lines and loose washes of bright colour -- and streams of musical notation, grim and annoying or bright and loopy as fits the mood, that fly out of the double-spread pages like banners of sound.
Recommended."
