I am 12 yrs. old and this has been my favorite Christmas book since the first time my mother read it to me. I would reccomend this book to anyone and everyone. Share this delightful story with your kids and watch their faces light up when you read it. They'll bring it out year after year!

A great little book. My grand daughter loved it. An old fashioned Xmas without mountains of presents but lots of atmosphere and fun and appealing little kids.

My daughter picked this book at the library when she was two, and we had to read it every night for the next six weeks. I did not tire of reading it to her. She will be getting her own copy for Christmas.

I am a second grade teacher and purchased this book to enhance a "Christmas Around the World" lesson based upon Swedish traditions. My kids absolutely loved this story; they were able to make worth-while connections to the traditions discussed and loved hearing about how Swedish children celebrate Christmas differently. I would highly recommend "Christmas in a Noisy Village"; I am so glad that I purchased this story!

Something I read as a kid and loved forever. it was great re-reading the story of six little kids growing up in a tiny village in Sweden.

3 1/2 stars
What I loved most about this book was the old-fashioned illustrations, the old-fashioned feel, and the old-fashioned celebration of Christmas. I adored the fact that the children received sleds and skates and skis for gifts and were outside right away playing with them. I also loved the close relationships everyone shared. The story, however, felt more like a collection of events, only tied together because it was Christmas. Which, is fine, but there really wasn't an overall story. But, I would still recommend this book just to revel in the illustrations and to introduce children to Christmases past.
