School Library Journal Review
Gr 3-6Pierre, a curious French youngster, relieves the boredom of a weekend in the country with his stodgy parents by visiting the couple next door, René and Georgette Magritte. And guess who happens to drop in for dinner? Salvador Dali. The text is brief and without character. In keeping with the spirit of surrealism, the events of the day are mundanea walk in the woods, a croquet game, charades, etc.while the way the happenings are depicted is anything but ordinary. The full-page oil paintings that tell the visual tale are based on the work of the 20th-century Belgian artist who sets the tone when he tells his young friend, ``Anyone can try to paint what they see. I like to paint what I think. I paint what I dream.'' Thus, the fun is in searching out and puzzling over the odd bits or laughing at the literal representation of ``it started to rain cats and dogs.'' The illustrations are true to the spirit of the originals and are a soft-sell approach to art appreciation.Kenneth Marantz, Art Education Department, Ohio State University, Columbus (c) Copyright 2010.

Reseña de Publisher's Weekly
Young Pierre finds that weekends in the country outside Paris are a little too dull for his liking. There are no children to play with, and his parents sit ``still as stone.'' But a visit next door soon changes all that, because Pierre is lucky enough to have as neighbors surrealist artist René Magritte and his wife, Georgette. On this particular day the Magrittes' friend Salvador Dali is invited to dinner, and an exciting affair it is-flying fish soup and partridge pie (the fish really leap and the birds still fly!). And before dinner, Pierre finds himself occupied with a croquet game (with a limp mallet) and a dash through the rain (cats and dogs tumble from the sky). Garland's droll text (``Did you dilly, Dali?'') is complemented by Magritte-style oil paintings filled, appropriately, with surrealist images: Magritte's bowler hats, Dali's melted clocks, etc. A useful note sets Magritte and Dali (and Garland) in context. Paying tribute to the magic of surrealist art and to the ever-active imagination, this work is eerie, fun and inspiring. Ages 6-9. (May) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
Reseña de Horn Book
At his parents' summer home near Paris, Pierre decides to visit their neighbors, the Magrittes. The catalog of events -- including a visit from Dalí, a walk in the woods, and a game of croquet -- is prosaic; the extension of that sequence in the illustrations is not. Metaphors such as 'It started to rain cats and dogs' are given concrete visualizations. The fascinating and challenging picture book has appeal for older audiences.

Kirkus Review
A book of oil paintings in the style of Magritte, placed in the context of a story. Pierre is bored sitting at home with his parents and goes to spend a day with his neighbors--René and Georgette Magritte. Dalí also drops in, and the four of them go for a walk in the woods, play croquet, and eat dinner together. This plotting is just enough to frame the illustrations, which depict Pierre and his famous friends surrounded by Magritte's most recognizable images--the man in the bowler with an apple in front of his face; people made of stone; woods in which the foreground and the background overlap (in a kind of aside, Dalí is shown looking at a melting clock on the wall). These pictures are guaranteed to win admirers in any audience unfamiliar with the work of Magritte (or of any of those latter-day practitioners of surrealism, Anthony Browne or Chris Van Allsburg, to name two). It will be easy for children who have read this book to become absorbed in the artist himself--Garland (Circus Girl, 1993, etc.) provides a perfect stepping stone to the real thing.
