"A delectable intergalactic fairy tale...[McPhail] zeroes in on the parallel world of the imagination that makes childhood so magical, delivering delicious nonsense in the same forthright manner with which children detail their own fantasies." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"As nighttime fantasies go, this is a pretty good one...the characters are expressive and cheerfully mischievous, and the kitchen scene, wherein a variety of utensils, appliances, and food float weightlessly around the room, is sure to please young would-be insomniacs and Star Baby rescuers." -The Bulletin
