<p>"Maurice Sendak, a friend of Ungerer's, thought him the most original children's book writer of his time." -<em>Sunday Telegraph</em></p><p>"So strong and graphically interesting... It's art - illustration at the highest level." -<em>The Times</em></p><p>"[A] style marked by great originality of illustrative technique, and a use of language that refused to patronise his young readers." -<em>Dazed & Confused</em></p><p>"Watch the children, the subversive is back." -<em>New York Times</em></p><p>"His ability to capture the absurd [...] and inject [...] subtle humour make this book a timeless classic." -<em>Outside In</em></p><p>"The new editions look fresh and inviting, with creamy backdrop pages, crisp colors, and almost tangible textures." -<em>School Library Journal</em></p><p>"Ungerer's artwork is distinguished by bright colors and his own distinctive style, and his stories are a beguiling mix of humour, wisdom and worthwhile messages." -<em>Buffalo News</em></p><p>"A strange and hilarious fairy-tale adventure that will make nighttime kids guffaw out loud." -<em>UrbanFamily</em></p><p>"[A] sweet, subversive, and lyrical tale." -<em>Brain Pickings</em></p><p>"Beautiful and thoughtful... Can help children from all backgrounds understand what it means to seek refuge... The poor reception and mistreatment of the gentle protagonist in Tomi Ungerer's <em>Moon Man</em> (2009) when he arrives on earth serves as a cautionary tale. We learn among other things that society is only as humane and civilised as the degree to which it extends such principles to its most vulnerable members."-<em>EAL (English as an Additional Language)</em></p>
