The Books

Hopper and Wilson

by Maria van Lieshout

One Potato Review

This begins with two stuffed toys – a bunny and an elephant – sitting at the end of a dock with their pet cactus and contemplating the possibilities that might await them if they ever got up the nerve to travel to “the end of the world.” Would there be a staircase to the moon? Infinite lemonade? Perhaps there are Inspiring Messages here somewhere floating around the edges of this story, but Van Lieshout’s nautical landscapes are so inviting and forbidding both, that readers might just be able to sit back and enjoy this for the right-size adventure it is.
