Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Like all children, Katie complains when bedtime signals her early departure from the festivities on Christmas Eve. Tucked in but restless, Katie wiggles loose a tooth that eventually falls onto the floor. Trying to retrieve her treasure, Katie discovers the Sandman under her bed. Still amazed by this encounter, Katie watches Jack Frost blow into the room, followed a few moments later by the Tooth Fairy, who appears dancing on "a shimmer of light." Katie's bedroom visitors cause plenty of ruckus as they must perform their respective duties and make way for Santa, the man of the evening. Catalanotto's ( Dylan's Day Out ) velvety paintings sparkle, depicting twinkling holiday lights and the magical glitter of nocturnal guests. Katie's face is particularly expressive as it glows with anticipation and excitement. Offering a pleasant mix of family warmth and the enchanting dreams of childhood, this tale can be enjoyed in any season. Ages 3-6.

From Kirkus Reviews
Just as the Sandman is coming on Christmas Eve, Katie loses a tooth; before Santa arrives, she's also visited by Jack Frost and the Tooth Fairy. This slight but amusing notion for a story is illustrated with virtuosity and imagination: dramatic perspectives and a skillfully controlled glow lend their magic to the mythical characters, while crimson-garbed Katie is a vibrant charmer.
