The poem is obviously a great one. But I picked this particular version because it was on a Goodreads list, and I am not all that impressed with the art. It is over done and not in a good way.

Again, a good story for Christmas Eve. This book had thicker pages which would be good for younger kids. The pictures were colorful and used mice as the characters.

Nice little Christmas tale. It's a nice way to start a Christmas tradition by reading it just before bed on Christmas eve night.

Obviously a classic, the word play is really fun when you read it out loud to your own kid, or a family member or two.

Holly Hobbie is a modern master. Every composition in this book would make a great Christmas card, starting with the cover image and including the wee painting of four round sleeping mousies snuggled up together. Her color palette is beautifully balanced between warm and cool – golden beiges and washed-out reds are counterposed with warm greys, midnight blues, and piney greens.
There’s a plump cat, a wide-eyed toddler and a skinny bed-headed Father to provide comic relief, and a fat, festive Christmas tree to anchor the scene in tradition. As for the jolly old elf – he might be my favorite Santa ever. He does look like a peddler just opening his pack.
