Our family happened upon this book at the library one Christmas and the kids (ages 5,3,2) really enjoyed reading it. However, we knew it was a winner when the kids asked for it again the next Christmas after not having seen or talked about the book for a year. It's a lot of fun.

The illustrations from Cooney are enchanting! I carefully examined the drawings of each picture, they come with a lot of historical content - the boys pants use lace to tie, there is a bed of hay... a room where sleep, cook, and work are all in one place. Just imagine how significant it is to have shoes - I came to a conclusion cobblers were an essential trade back then! Also, i couldn't help but to think "How do children in those times spent their time?" Well perhaps through legendary stories like this one to give them hope and comfort. My children beg to read this story over and over - this has become a treasured story every Christmas! An unbelievable quality entertainment where it cost $0.41 cents, an used book via Amazon! Stories make the best gifts!!
