Recensioni della critica
“Just right for storytelling and tongue-twisting repeating, and . . . for reading aloud.” —Kirkus Reviews
“This old folktale of what happens when the boy falls into a well...should make excellent read-aloud material....Bright, active, and delightfully expressive.” —School Library Journal
“On spacious, uncluttered pages the artist has extended the story with wonderfully droll ink-and-wash drawings that combine imaginative beauty with a true Chinese spirit.” —The Horn Book
