"OHora’s scratchy, comically stiff figures and poker-faced humor beautifully embody the tale’s essential absurdity. And the lemmings’ final victory affirms that progress is possible even for the terminally silly." * Publishers Weekly, starred review *
"Delightfully imparts the joy and discovery of reading—and many chuckles and guffaws." * Kirkus *
"An absolute joy to read" * BookTrust *
