About the Author:
Brigitte Weninger was born in Kufstein, Austria, and spent twenty years working as a kindergarten teacher before trying her hand at writing. She has since published more than fifty books, which have been translated into thirty languages worldwide. She continues to be heavily involved in promoting literacy and storytelling.
Eve Tharlet was born in France but spent much of her childhood in Germany. After graduating from the Superior School of Decorative Arts in Strasbourg, France, she began working as a freelance illustrator in 1981 and quickly received international acclaim. Her big breakthrough came with the series about Davy, the cute and cheeky bunny, which propelled her name around the world.
From School Library Journal:
Eve Tharlet was born in France but spent much of her childhood in Germany. After graduating from the Superior School of Decorative Arts in Strasbourg, France, she began working as a freelance illustrator in 1981 and quickly received international acclaim. Her big breakthrough came with the series about Davy, the cute and cheeky bunny, which propelled her name around the world.
PreS-Gr 1—Weninger presents two dozen short stories, meant to be shared daily as a lead-up to Christmas. They are original selections, including several about two gnome children staying with their grandfather while awaiting the birth of some new siblings. They also include folktale retellings ("Mother Holly," "Three Little Christmas Pigs," "The Twelve Months"), and traditional holiday fare. Each four-to-six page selection includes Tharlet's lovely watercolor spot art, and many feature a full-page painting. Unfortunately, "The Real Baby Jesus," about an older child who doubts the existence of the Baby Jesus, Santa Claus, and the Easter Bunny, is jarring and seems out of place for the intended audience. VERDICT While the majority of the narratives are pleasant and innocuous, they are not as compelling and satisfying as a cumulative tale.—Luann Toth, School Library Journal
