For children yearning for an island of their own, deadpan delights await in this tale of somnolent creation --Kirkus Reviews (starred reviews) Klassen has crafted three unassuming master classes in picture-book making for the youngest listeners/viewers. --The Horn Book (starred review) Klassen's trademark minimalist illustrations and dry humor permeate the island's construction with a quiet charm.
