Sleeping Boy
by Sonia Craddock
Atheneum, 1999āā
“Gore brilliantly contrasts first the loving father and mother gently cradling the baby, all of his relatives encircling him like a band of angels; then just a few pages later Major Krieg's black gloved fingers hold the baby aloft, the baby's head cropped at the top of the page and the Part modern-day fairy tale, part Brothers Grimm, part allegory, this is an ambitious, eerie and visually stunning work for all ages.”

“Gore's illustrations are lovely and moody, with the look of the faded snapshots of memory.”
