Review
"Kibuishi...brings his fantasy sensibility and melancholy tones to the classic adventures-of-a-boy-and-his-dog model.... Despite their differences, their bond remains strong." Booklist
Review
"For thoughtful readers, this whimsical pastiche of imagination and dreams may be just the ticket." Kirkus Reviews
Review
"Copper is gentle and child-accessible, but richly sophisticated and colorful enough to lure in adult readers....It has its own gentle positives, especially for Flight fans looking for still more brightly colored design experiments, but it's a pretty laid-back experience. (Grade: B)" The Onion AV Club
