"Here's a song whose lyrics everyone knows and that therefore demands something spectacular to distinguish it. This version, sumptuously illustrated by Long, certainly delivers."
-The New York Times

""Ms. Long has secreted lyrical clues within each picture that children will relish hunting down."
-The Wall Street Journal

* "Long expertly weaves religious and secular images into a visually arresting interpretation of the traditional carol."
-Publishers Weekly, starred review

"An accomplished visual interpretation with a playful element for children to enjoy."
-Booklist

"This version has a dreamy, fairy-tale sensibility."
-Kirkus Reviews

"Long's lyrical and lush oil paintings, reminiscent of Russian icon art, combined with a tricky interactive element, make this version of the traditional carol special."
-School Library Journal
