Review quote:
A masterpiece-certainly of children''s literature, but maybe of all literature. It is Steig at his absolute best.
Review quote:
There is no question that Steig''s affectionately witty pictures and perfectly complementary narration make this a durable picture book friendship
Review quote:
A simple, matter-of-fact story about the friendship between a mouse and a whale. . . . Lovely watercolor pictures and a funny, well-written text which presents its plot coincidences in tongue-in-cheek manner fit together admirably in this faintly Aesopian tale
Review quote:
The book is funny and earnest, pellucid and profound
