Review by Library Journal Review

Lonely, beady-eyed, eight-year-old Melbourne resident Mary Daisy Dinkle randomly selects forlorn, obese, 44-year-old New Yorker Max Horowitz to be her pen pal. In an unlikely friendship that lasts 20 years, they share their thoughts on often absurdly funny topics ranging from the commonplace to the cosmic. Filmmaker Adam Elliot (whose delightful Oscar-winning short film, Harvie Krumpet, is included here) works in the charming claymation style of the "Wallace and Gromit" series but with an edge. For the adventurous. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
