Here, the land where the bong tree grows looks like the set for an operetta in paradise". -- Booklist, starred review-- "A fresh version of an old story that's filled with intricate details and touches of humor. A hoot and a howl that's sure to make a splash with young romantics". -- School Library Journal, starred review-- "An entrancing picture story". -- Kirkus Reviews, pointer review
