The story is simple, but the artwork is exceptional. Full of weirdness, wordplay, and wonder. Jesse Thorn talked it up on his NPR show Bullseye, and if anything, he undersold how good it is.

Know going in that this is a really weird book. The plot is odd, and the drawings are odd - but incredibly, exquisitely detailed. I spent way more time perusing the absolutely hilarious and insane details of the backgrounds than I did dealing with the plot, which almost seems incidental to the artwork that was obviously lovingly crafted. This is a picture book whose value is in the images, and those images are so dense and detailed that a reader could go back to this book a dozen times and spend hours puzzling out all the gags and weirdness and fun going on here.

The illustrations are stimulating (almost overly so for this day and age). But the tale is cute.

I thought the story was kind of creepy for a kid's book, but I could gaze at the art for hours.
