Summary: Honestly, not that great
Review: I'm quite surprised after just receiving this book to find that the reviews of it are so great. I'm not sure why either. There's nothing interesting about it, no imagination stirring events, nothing. When he gets to the part about the snow covering the animals, there's five pages, count them, 5 that have one sentence which is as follows, numbered accordingly: "The snowflakes gently covered one with a white blanket", and on, and on it goes until it mentions all five animals. And the story proceeds from there and goes downhill. The animals wake up to find the farmer running to decorate a tree. Wow. There's no imagination with this story at all. The song is really strange and quite frankly, my little one really didn't like the illustrations. I have the "Book Child" in my house - he has a zillion of them and loves books very much. He took one look at this and didn't even want me to read it. I'd go after another story to be quite honest. Something that stirs the excitement, joy and wonder of Christmas because this one certainly does none of that. It honestly doesn't make any sense and is nothing more than a bunch of words on pages. Heavens, if that's all it takes to get published, what am I waiting for?

Summary: A genuine holiday classic
Review: In a world filled with commercial holiday books based on popular kids' movies or cartoon characters, it's nice to have a simple story about kindness, hope and the magic of the season. I bought this book for my older son when he was 4. Now both my sons, 6 and 2 love to read it year-round.

Summary: Delightful!
Review: My 2-year-old daughter and I are huge fans of this book: it's a classic! Clearly, not an inexpensive book, but it's really quite special. It's got some neat tricks (the snow transparencies, the music button), but manages to not be gimmicky, probably because of the strength of the beautiful illustrations. Eric Carle is just amazing.

Summary: THE BEST ERIC CARLE EVER!
Review: This is the best Eric Carle ever - at least I think so as does my favorite 6-year old! Mr. Carle's pictures are as bright and shiny as the sparkliest ornaments on a Christmas tree, and the book is full of surprises (none of which will be revealed so as not to spoil the fun). Let's just say they're to be found in the book's ingenious construction.

This unique construction even includes music at the end - a perfect, happy, holiday conclusion. Also, the batteries are replaceable so the book can be enjoyed for many seasons to come as young and old return again and again to the farmer who had a dream.

Thank you, Eric Carle!

Summary: SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR SOMETHING ELSE
Review: Toy book--joy book, Carle hits a home-run again. Follow the farmer and his animals--named after numbers because he can count them on one hand, through a dream of snow falling on the barnyard. The reality of a snowfall intrudes on their lives and a hustle begins over something he has forgotten. Overlays complete the illusion of snow covering all it comes in contact with and our young audience uncovers each animal to ensure its well-being. A musical sound effect ending the story celebrates Christmas. Bright poster paint montage cut-outs fill the pages to create a warm and inviting texture to the story as it unfolds. The folk art is child-like yet filled with wonderful touches of details that overall create a satisfying balance. Children will come back to it again and again.
