ReviewsLilly is one of the great female characters in literature—like Anna Karenina with whiskers or Scarlett O'Hara with paws., In all of children's literature there is just a handful of characters we think of as family--Madeline, Winnie-the-Pooh, and Charlotte come to mind--and when this young generation is old enough to reflect on the ones it loved, Lilly will probably lead the pack., Henkes gets it all just right. All of the bustling, inventive artwork is a pleasure to look at. The whole book, art and text, is lovingly layered to express the mixed emotions that all of us experience., Lilly is one of the great female characters in literature--like Anna Karenina with whiskers or Scarlett O'Hara with paws.
