The New York Times Book Review
Another satisfying tale that is also a gentle vehicle for helping children to understand a range of sometimes subtle psychological and ethical issues.
Booklist
In this medieval family, Yorick finds his younger brother Charles "a first-rate pain in the pants." When his alchemist father and his mother set off for a week's trip, Yorick seizes the opportunity to experiment in his father's lab, hoping to learn to turn "donkey's dung into gold." Instead, he turns himself into a miniature boy, and Charles, who has long yearned to be "palsy-walsy" with his brother, is elated. Charles plays with Yorick as if he were a toy, building him a little house and feeding him crumbs. But by the story's end, Yorick is restored to his proper size, and all are happy. Steig embellishes his always rich vocabulary with medieval words to delightful effect and decorates his artwork with rich hues and purple borders. A family ecstatically reunited is one of Steig's recurring themes. Here he adds a nice twist, noting that the two brothers "sincerely appreciated each other now. Except when they were having a fight."
Book Description
A boy alchemist and his little brother come to understand the meaning of love--or at least like. HC.
"Good picture books come along fairly often, but an original, remarkable book that takes you by surprise is rare. Rejoice over William Steig's latest, in which he spoofs medieval life and takes a crack at bullying older brothers and alchemy as he tells his rattling good story." -the Philadelphia Inquirer. SC.
