Kirkus Reviews

"The authors weave a rich, traditional fable, frequently addressing "Dear reader" and offering reminders about "olden times." Textual imagery will help young readers see the story in their mind's eye: "the cold winter sun hung low like a pink jewel on the horizon and the warm golden summer nights smelled like clover honey." It's a clever tale with lessons about envy and . . . mingled with humor, with an ending that includes a major real-life historical figure. Secondary characters, such as Elise's grandmother Lucia and Armando's brother Marco are also entertaining. [The] illustrations complement the text well with their whimsical style and rich, warm colors.

A fanciful tale that's likely to delight young readers."
