“Witty and engaging, a brilliant gem of a book.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Critics Review

Farley has created a clever, captivating take on the concept of perspective… . this strikingly original book proves that imagination can make the search for what we want as extraordinary and entertaining as actually reaching our goals… . children will love guessing what objects the illusory elephants might really be. Witty and engaging, a brilliant gem of a book.
