"This offering has the kind of unity that only an author-illustrator can produce, and it's a hoot. The jokes play out between words and pictures . . .
Incorporating the lyrics to "Jingle Bells," this reader makes use of the common-sense but powerful fact that it's easier to read words when you know them already. Find a six-year-old and enjoy."

Maryann Kovalski, one of Canada's most beloved children's writers/illustrators, has received many honors, including the Governor General's Award shortlist, a CLA Notable, a Parent's Choice Illustrator's Honor, and two nominations for the Mr. Christie's Book Award. Born in the Bronx, Maryann was inspired by a recent move back to New York to completely overhaul her 1992 bestseller, Take Me Out to the Ballgame, with a brand new story and locations that celebrate the Bronx of her youth.
