Review Quotes: In story and artwork as delicate as milkweed floss, Paul tells the story of young Hedgehog's tribulations as a budding magician...The story has a sweetness that can't be denied, and the artwork is both delicate, as if painted on bone china, and transporting: For all its etherealness, you could take a bite out of the cake.
