“This well-orchestrated adventure is a childhood idyll, complete with apple cake, chocolate, just enough danger, and the ultimate luxury of being carried home asleep in a grandfather’s arms.” —Horn Book Magazine (starred review)“Translations of Schuff’s writing into English capture the reverent tone of the original Spanish and perfectly fit with the art, as delicate, imagistic phrasing is complemented by etched, pencil-like strokes that have both a groundedness and a sense of the fantastical…Read this to any child who delights in nature or any child who knows that time spent with a beloved grownup can be the most magical adventure.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
