Review

"Here is a story so ingenious in its conception, so powerful in production that its message can safely slip unnoticed into the mind to linger after the splendid images begin to fade." -- The "Times Literary Supplement"
"A sophisticated fairy tale." --"The New York Times Book Review"

"Here is a story so ingenious in its conception, so powerful in production that its message can safely slip unnoticed into the mind to linger after the splendid images begin to fade." --"The Times Literary Supplement"

"Wittily perceptive social criticism and haunting, surrealistic imagery... This all-ages delight deserves rescue and is ideal for classroom (or bedtime) read-alouds--especially if the grown-ups pay attention along with the children." --"Kirkus"
"A modern classic for all ages."--"ForeWord Review"
"A German Classic returns to print"--"Publishers Weekly"
"A wonderful new translation with simple, gorgeous illustrations by Marcel Dzama. A masterpiece." --"The Globe and Mail"
"If there was only one children's book I could put on the list of must-read, yet hardly known, children's books, it would have to be Momo. I fell in love with the book, despite the fact that when I first went to read it, I assumed I wouldn't like it at all!"--"LitKidz"
"A joyful read."--About.com
