What They're Saying

Critics Review

A New York Times Bestseller

“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. . . Brett’s trademark patterned borders both supplement and forecast the action playing out in meticulously detailed scenarios.” —Publishers Weekly

“Inspired by her pet rabbit’s interest in winter, Brett’s storytelling finesse and delicately detailed illustrations remind us why she’s so popular with children.” —School Library Journal
