Recenzii

"Yamasaki's cartoon illustrations have a palette full of dark blues and bright yellows, contrasting not only day and night but also the creepy ghost and the ingenious boy. Verdict: A fun, slightly spooky twist on the classic tale of a small child outwitting a villain"
- School Library Journal

"Hilarity ensues as the ghost scrambles to assemble the ingredients to make the perfect batch of 'boy dumplings'... [a] charming, whimsical fairy tale."
- Midwest Book Review
