"Tom Finger has beautiful and evocative watercolour pictures of a mysterious cat who leads Queenie through all the perils of a snowy forest as she follows his red thread trail. The story is excellent for reading aloud, with a rhythmic lilt and plenty of repetition." The Spectator

"Tom Finger takes you by surprise with its other worldliness and its un-Englishness." Books for Keeps

"The artwork in pen and light washes is fluid with large areas of unworked space, and the style and images would not be out of place in the European nursery picture book world of the early 20th century." School Librarian.
