"An unhurried pace and graphically arresting scenes build suspense and wonderment in equal measure, providing space for reflection and tantalizing questions."
- Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"This captivating wordless adventure begins in a realistic setting, as a cat watches a fish swimming alone in a bowl. Dramatic two-page spreads-rendered in black, gray, and white, with red as the sole accent color-portray swirling energies as the cat reaches into the bowl and the fish desperately tries to get away."
- Booklist

"This tale by Canadian artist Dubuc (The Lion and the Bird) is in essence one long, wordless chase scene, but in her hands it acquires texture, drama, and imaginative power. The slow-moving suspense casts a strange spell, and the way the fish breaks the rules of nature and gravity and still can't get rid of its pesky pursuer gives the spreads humor. It's a quiet victory for the weak over the strong, and even the youngest readers can follow it with pleasure."
- Publishers Weekly

"This has the dreamy nonverbal humor of an animated short film, and the simple two-color palette (the red fish and the briefly encountered red birds are the only accents amid the black and white scenes) and the naïve draftsmanship in the pencil and watercolor illustrations add low-key charm. Little ones with adults to guide them will love the serene fantasy, while older kids will enjoy applying their visual decoding skills to find the offbeat humor."
