"The poet-painter's latest book brings warm wit to the outermost reaches of cold, dark space. . . . Florian's illustrations depict the marvels of space with luminous texture and detail."
--The New York Times Book Review-- "The New York Times Book Review" (6/3/2007 12:00:00 AM) * "Nothing gladdens the heart of believers of good poetry for children more than a new collection by Florian. . . . This one literally sings the music of the spheres. . . . In both language and artwork, Florian strikes the perfect balance between grandeur and whimsy." --School Library Journal 7/1/07 (starred)-- "School Library Journal " (7/1/2007 12:00:00 AM)
