Booklist

"Watercolor combine funny touches (the decor of a the Magician's room reveals him to be a mischievous child wizard) with softly colored, nicely detailed animals and landscapes."

Kirkus Reviews

"Detailed watercolors, many of them full-bleed, double-page spreads, feature a large cast of mixed-up animals, an atmospheric forest, and a rather timid magician. Children will have fun figuring out whose misplaced body parts belong to whom, and the endpapers offer clues to Macrobius's bewitchment."

Through the Looking Glass Children's Book Review

"This amusing little tale is sure to please any young person who has a fondness for magic and pranks. Delicate watercolour and pencil drawings beautifully capture the personalities of the animals and the forest environment that they live in."
