Media Reviews
"Stark yet lushly textured pencil drawings, recalling the work of Chris Van Allsburg, capture the mystery, surprise and anticipation of what many children consider the most magical night of the year. The finely wrought portraits and shadowy, snow-covered Victorian setting will enchant."
-- Publishers Weekly
"The moody illustrations suggest the drama and excitement of the magical night in an unusual way."
-- Kirkus
