""It’s a sorcerer’s apprentice tale, but with a logician’s twist: Nina’s observation and analysis keep things more or less in check."" — Publishers Weekly ""Some readers may feel the smiling influence of Lewis Carroll hovering over The Watering Can...As in Alice in Wonderland, here a curious, resourceful girl stumbles upon an ordinary object that is revealed to have transformative capacities... The fine lines and bright colors of Marie Dorléans’s illustrations bring a 1970s vibe to this cheerful story of imaginative excess for readers ages 5-8."" —Meghan Cox Gurdon, The Wall Street Journal
