“The stories have a pleasing old-fashioned mood, which is accented by the exquisite illustrations … dainty, beautifully proportioned, finely detailed silhouettes done in black on white and scattered across the pages; at any moment they seem ready to leap into action.”
School Library Journal
“The illustrations … resonate with the stories in a pleasing way that makes the reading of them more than words – a rich visual-verbal experience. The World of children’s literature can be grateful that Lillian Somersaulter Moats has graced the medium of print.”
David Sohn
Editor, Ten Top Stories: An Anthology for Young Adults, Bantam Books
“… fine black-and-white silhouettes, which convey an impressive range of emotions… lend the tales a timeless quality.”
