From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K?This charming, cheerful translation of Demain c'est Noel (Pastel, 1994) features young Juliette and her entourage of stuffed-animal friends. The simple plot takes readers through the day before Christmas (buying and decorating a tree, making cookies); Christmas Eve (hanging the stocking, bedtime story, the toys witness Santa's visit); and Christmas Day (present opening and sharing). One or two sentences grace each page, enhancing soft watercolor illustrations with festive gold-foil highlights. A wonderful bedtime story that's equally well suited to group sharing.?LF

This review is from: Christmas is Coming (Hardcover)

I bought this book as a gift to my daughter and it has the most incredible pictures and cute story. This is the type of book that will be a keepsake and brought out every year as part of tradition!

5.0 out of 5 stars Whoopie, another "little girl" book, October 3, 2002

By A Customer

My twin girls insist on reading their favorite book, "Goodnight" (by the same author and illustrator) every night, and I was thrilled to find another book with the same little girl, Max, Theo, JoJo, and the rest of the gang. Since the girl didn't have a name in "Goodnight", we named her Debbie, but now we know her name is Juliette! (so we now call her Debbie Juliette...). Anyway, these are MY two favorite books to read to my two favorite 2-year-olds, I can't get enough of the pictures, they are beautiful. I plan to buy this book for Christmas presents! Great simple story and dozens of things to look at on each page, again, the pictures are adorable, water-colorey...

5.0 out of 5 stars Add to your Christmas Eve reading tradition books!, October 7, 2004

By	KSL "emma-and-me" (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

There are several things I love about this book, 1 is that the illustrator is excellent! The book is just beautiful to look at, it's a quick read and I'd love to have a stuffed dragon like hers white bandage and all!

I love the story and the excitement of Christmas day, for us parents it takes me back to my childhood and I'm sure it will do the same for you, I know it will be one of our books to read in December as well as a Christmas Eve reading along with Twas the Night Before Christmas, this book is that cute.

The last thing I love about this book is for me that I see the daughter as being adopted. I guess we all see what we choose to see and with my daughter looks exactly like the character.
