Description: "An ingenious tribute to the power of books." --Philip Pullman "Bernstein's debut children's book is a cleverly convoluted celebration of fantasy, of reading and of the imagination. Kulikov's voluptuous pen-and-ink chapter openers contribute to the elegant storybook feel of the experience." -- Starred, Publishers Weekly "Readers...will be captivated by the narrative's classic feel and the ever-thrilling notion of books opening literal doors to fabulous worlds." -- Booklist "This homage to the joys of reading rises above didacticism by means of skillful prose, rounded characters, and playful plot twists." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Engaging." -- Kirkus Reviews "Charming. The author's own love for classic children's tales shines through this gentle and entertaining story." -- VOYA "The book is a pleasure to get lost in." -- The New York Times Book Review
