From B&N Reads: May's Top Picks In Picture Books (May/2015):

"Bibliophiles young and old will delight in this touching tale. Spencer loves to read—he reads a new book every night, in fact. But when his favorite book goes missing—and a tulip shows up in its place—he begins a perplexing scavenger hunt that reveals a community of readers living right under his nose."

From Publishers Weekly (Mar/2015):

Excerpt: "....This is a story that should quickly find its way into the hearts of book lovers of all ages."

From Booklist (April 24, 2015):

Excerpt: "Ohi’s first venture into writing...will resonate with kids who love their books—and their libraries."

From National Reading Campaign (May 23, 2017):

Excerpt: "Young bibliophiles will undoubtedly feel Spencer’s pain at his missing tomes and chime in with his plaintive cries of “WHERE IS MY BOOK?” Keep several copies of this book on hand…just in case."
