"A very fun short read for math and art lovers (and even children). I thought it great after reading Zero. Anyone remember seeing the little cartoon of this? Also needed to expnd my vocabulary some...nice use of words and illustration."
"I learned that in the end the good line is the one to go with...wait, I already knew that. You sort of feel sorry for the tangled up line though, and wonder whats so hot about the dot anyhow. I just love this little love story."
"This is one of those kids books that is really meant for adults. I always gravitate toward these kinds of kids books, and then I wonder why my kids staff picks never do that well...
Definitely a cousin to Silverstein's The Missing Piece, but with the added perk of the wordplay that made The Phantom Tollbooth so charming. Definitely laughed out loud a lot and then bought it outright."
