I would've loved to read this when I was younger! It's extremely creative and abstract, which is mind blowing. I love that the little girl was the one who reconnected the nobbles. If it were someone else, though, they probably would've been judgmental. The younger children would especially love this text because it shows the value of friendship and courage. ( )

This unusually abstract book tells a story about a strange little lonely creature who longs for company. To find somebody to talk to though, it must venture into a new, tangible place we call the city. I understand many people enjoy this book, but it crossed my tolerance level for odd, unusual literature. Themes include friendship, isolation, overcoming fear...but in the reading of the story I am blinded to those ideas by my frustration with the weird fantastical elements.However, this level of whimsy is frequently enjoyed by children, and is sure to become a favorite of many.
