  • * "Martha rather resembles a broad-beamed version of Henkes' Lilly; her noise-in-the-air pose shifts easily from superciliousness to hopfeul supplication of the towering growups. Youngsters will recognize Martha's struggle, and they'll appreciate this additional perspective on the fact that, in life as in Elton John, "sorry" can be the hardest word." --The Bulletin (starred review)
