Book SynopsisTrade Review**STARRED REVIEW** "The cartoonish humor of the drawings provides a perfect counterpart to the calm, concise language of the tale’s spare sentences, much as Hakim’s steady resolve provides counterpoint to the jitters of his companions. With a subtle moral—everything is a monster in the fog—that is rendered playfully but is still thought-provoking." * School Library Journal *Plays on viewer expectations, but the real fun comes from the opportunity to guess what the fog illusions really are at storytime. * The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books *The watercolor illustrations are dramatically composed, full of humor, and punctuated with mysterious glowing fog. A book that is perfect for storytime and, with its clean design and accessible text, also for new readers. * The Horn Book Magazine *'It’s hard to knit a sweater with your hooves,' writes Bahrampour (A Pig in the Palace) in the irresistible opening to this parable about curiosity versus fear, 'but Hakim somehow did it,'. . .he book’s meaning is unmistakable, and even urgent: snap judgments and trepidation are no way to move forward in the world. * Publishers Weekly *
