A stunningly beautiful book! Best we've read this summer 22 Sep 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
My five year old daughter Polly writes: "A boy went in to a paradise garden. There were loads of animals. He ran away from his home. He lived on scraps of food that he found. You can find loads of Cafe Max's in this book. And some Kangaroos (or possibly dogs) looking out of windows. And little eyes poking out. It was excellent. (I liked it too - Mum)

Haunting 19 Dec 2009
By E. Inks - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I bought this book when I was a single, young mother of a 2 year old boy. He is now 10. It is still a very important book to us. It deals with the pain of parents separating, but it is tempered by the most beautiful illustrations I have ever seen in a childrens book. A very important book for children of divorce, but also wonderful for children of all walks...

Gorgeous Rendering of a Poignant Story 27 July 2008
By MTL - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
As always, Colin Thompson does it again. His attention to detail is stunning, and the details are always exquisite and uncommon. His imagination just soars.

And, as always, the story itself is always poignant and often weaves either a personal moral tale, or a more universal one.

I am always on the lookout for his books. They satisfy on many levels.
