Reviews

"The familiar farmyard gang celebrates Christmas Eve in Boyntons latest holiday-themed board book. After deck[ing] the halls with cows and holly, singing, trimming the tree, and making merry (All the happy pigs go HA HA HA!), its time to settle down and go to bed. Chickens and other animal friends offer quiet sounds...until (classic Boynton) a rowdy bunch goes a little wild. Excited little ones will love the implicit invitation." * Horn Book Magazine *
"A fun twist on the traditional Christmas carol Deck the Halls. Any attempt to merely read this delightfully silly board book will be futile. The sparse text, which surrounds a cast of animal friends throughout, floats right off the page, begging to be sung in the tune of carol. Whether the youngest listeners and readers are familiar with Deck the Halls or not, they wont be able to resist the pure joy and lightheartedness of cows, sheep, pigs, and others making rhymes from their natural sounds. Boynton uses similar artistic techniques and a playful palette that longtime readers know and love from her extensive body of work. VERDICT In the appropriate setting for a Christmas-themed title, the interactive engagement of this title will be undeniable." * School Library Journal *
