'The detailed cartoon art has a warm and cozy look with walls tinged with yellow from the candlelight. Illustrations can take up whole pages and the tomtes themselves look traditionally elfish in their caps and clogs... this offering will appeal to readers wanting the trappings of a classic Christmas folktale.' --School Library Journal

'A funny take on a beloved tradition, as well as a reminder of all that mamas do behind the scenes to make households run smoothly!' -- All Done Monkey Blog/p>

'Enchanting and cozy.' -- Luminous Libro Blog

Praise for The Dog Walk by Sven Nordqvist:

'This wordless book is so lavishly detailed, so exuberantly trippy, a kid can spend hours getting lost in its pages... It's the kind of densely illustrated book (like one of Mitsumasa Anno's classic "Journey" books) where you can always find a new mischievously hidden detail... A reminder that wonder is where you find it.' --The New York Times

'The ink, watercolor, and acrylic drawings have the genteel elegance and wide-ranging imagination of classic fairy tale illustration.' --Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW

'Amusement abounds in the mixture of modern and historical aesthetic elements... The perfect choice for a rainy day for readers and nonreaders alike.' --Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW

'It's like Alice in Wonderland and M.C. Escher teamed up to make a wordless picture book. ' --School Library Journal
