Reviews
- "The children would recommend this book as they enjoyed the humour and rhyme in it. They thought it is a good Christmas story. The book is suited to younger readers than those involved in the book group and some of the children found the story too short." - Kilmihil Children’s Book Club
- "The energy, vitality, and charm of both drawings and verse make this book a treasured American classic." - Common Sense Media
