Amazon Description

Moving to a secluded mountain home, an artist discovers that the dodos that cover the mountain refuse to leave, despite his best efforts to make them do so.

One Potato Review

Well, it is about Dodos, a little - and art, and loneliness, and a lot of things. This may be a little obscure for some people’s tastes, still this reader was impressed by its existential ambition, and besides, it’s not always clear that children care what a book is About exactly, or where it’s meant to point them. Warm and engaging, and as likely to delight the younger reader as puzzle the old.
