Brett's watercolor-and-gouache illustrations feature both soft and bright colors, with fine lines and copious textures to peruse. . . Between the opulent farmhouse with decorative plates on the walls, the sleigh with sleigh bells, and the lack of adults, combined with a comfortably heated interior, this is a winter idyll. --Kirkus Reviews

[A] fetching companion to The Hat. . . Bretts trademark patterned borders both supplement and forecast the action playing out in meticulously detailed scenarios. --Publishers Weekly
