"Respectful of children's intelligence, the book presents topics such as friendship, acceptance, belonging, and otherness that will challenge them to think further."--KIrkus Reviews, starred review
Quirky, endlessly fascinating, Riddle always presents a challenge to his readers, making them think outside the box, muse on what makes us human, and look at one of the basic tenets of our existence, the companionship of others." ReadPlus
"A brilliant example of how satisfying, clever and artful the picture book form can be". The Age
"Tohby Riddle's Nobody Owns the Moon (Berbay Publishing) is nothing short of spectacular... I don't want to spoil it. But let's just say that Riddle spins a graceful, subtle, and very moving point here about belonging and, to steal a word from Shaun Tan (whose blurb is on the book's back cover), dignity." Seven Impossible Things Before Christmas
"A touching, multi-level story that will enchant and impact readers, Nobody Owns the Moon will become a favorite and is a must for home, classroom, school, and public library collections." Celebrate Picture Books
