KIRKUS REVIEW

Margaret Wise Brown's early, tender, truly sad story about the old, old lady warmed back to life--when "her toothache was all that there seemed to be in the world"--by her little blue gray kitten, is a perilous choice for picture-book revival, being long on atmosphere and short on action; but to succeed at all it needs far more resonant pictures than these configurations, which have neither drawing, detail, nor conception to commend them.
