Editorial Reviews
Review
"There is just enough humanizing in the pictures--the intimation of a face on the tower, fog forming a grasping hand--to maintain the human spirit of the story and lead to its message: 'Each to his own place, little brother.' " --New York Herald Tribune
"Such a picture-story book as Mrs. Swift and Mr. Ward have made between them will not only be deeply enjoyed by boys and girls ... but will help to cultivate in them the seeing eye, and make them sensitive to the beauty which they can so easily find around them." --The New York Times

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2023
It's a little long and wordy to read to a very young child, but it would be very appropriate for older children and those who have just started to read. It has a great message.
