Industry Reviews
Meschenmoser s soft pencil portraits of the squirrel s inner fears teeter right at the sweet spot between anguish and humor. The story s deepest pleasure comes from the contrast between its ever-more-ridiculous scenarios and the artist s solemn, classically proportioned drafting style. Publishers Weekly on Mr. Squirrel and the Moon"
Mr. Squirrel and the Moon was a top ten IndieNext Pick!
As this book proves, squirrels, jail sequences, and edible heavenly bodies make for picture book gold. Delicious. Elizabeth Bird, Fuse #8 Production/School Library Journal, on Mr. Squirrel and the Moon"
..".what I can do is show you without a sliver of a doubt that thanks to picture books like those of Sebastian Meschenmoser, we have absolute proof that Germans have a distinct and ribald sense of humor. ...This one s a keeper."- Elizabeth Bird, Fuse #8 Production/School Library Journal"
*Starred Review* "Drawing with his own sublime blend of wit and intelligence...There s not a morsel of judgment, just the conviction that even hilariously different creatures can find a way to love each other."- Publishers Weekly"
"Meschenmoser s intricate pencil illustrations are full of meticulous comical detail..."- Etta Anton, School Library Journal"
