"[The] Illustrations are wonderful: strong and precise, they range
from detailed, realistic renderings of places and human characters
to pictures of fluffy clouds, at once diaphanous and
substantial."
-- BooklistThe illustrations... are startlingly and powerfully
conceived, the fanciful cloud-shapes both funny and elegant.... The
book nevertheless ascends to new heights. In fact, it definitely
inspires a bit of sky-watching." -- Horn Book (starred
review)"Wiesner's fans will rediscover all his favorite
motifsdreams overlapping reality, metamorphosing creatures, and
morerendered in precise watercolors with tilted perspectives."
-- Kirkus Reviews"Wiesner's fans will be on Cloud 9 with this
wordless scenario of a class trip to the Empire State Building. . .
. The framed panels have a cinematic quality that sweeps readers
off into the clouds along with the boy. This wittily depicted
stretch of the imagination displays Wiesner's talent in top
form."
-- School Library Journal (starred review)"Caldecott Medalist
Wiesner (TUESDAY) again takes to the air, with watercolors that
render words superfluous." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
