So incredibly whimsical, and charming!
Neil Gaiman's beautifully written prose accompanied with the stunning art work of Charles Vess lightened, and summoned child like wonder into my bitter, cold, adult heart.
I know I'm being a tad dramatic, but believe me this book calls for it. Young and old alike need to read this wonderful book!

I thought this was a strange, hypnotic tale. It's supposed to be a children's book, but the writing sounds more suited for older children or adults. Neil Gaiman pens great children's books, but this one almost begs to be expanded into one of his well known fantasy novels. It has great illustrations that pull you deeper into following along with the "instructions."
