Review Quotes

An exquisite interpretation of the ever popular Christmas song "Jingle Bells" is a companion piece to Puttapipat's stellar edition of The Night Before Christmas (2007)...this is a lovely version of the beloved song that could be used by an adult reader to mesmerize a young audience.
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Delicate cut-out shapes (such as the "skyline" of the town) and restrained use of red, green, and gold accents give the book a polished, sophisticated presence, while a final pop-up, featuring an enormous Christmas tree flanked by builds and revelers, concludes the book (and the song) on a celebratory note.
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

The traditional song is enhanced with meticulous and elegant illustrations in black and white, plus intense pops of red, green, and gold...This one is definitely for display.
