Reviews
The short story is smoothly told in energetic fashion, with lots of animal noises flowing across the page in enlarged, colored display type, and the explanation of the significance of the Nativity scene is particularly well-done. —Kirkus Reviews
The text… reads like a folktale, making this an excellent story to read aloud, and the gouache, ink, and collage illustrations depict a humble but colorful farm. The animals all have personality but Harold is particularly winsome with his scrawny purple body and goggly yellow eyes. Sure to be a holiday favorite.
