"The simple linocut illustrations are stunning; with white figures on a blue background, they create an idealized wintry world." --Bloomberg.com "The simple lines and crisp images, especially of spiky Jack Frost, pop and are a delight for the eyes. . . . This is a beautiful piece of bookmaking." --School Library Journal "A sparkling winter treat." --Publishers Weekly "The artful design is what will draw repeat viewers, young and old, who'll be taken with the pictures' evocative feel." --Booklist "As in Ghosts in the House!, the limited-palette illustrations are composed of the simplest shapes and lines, here enhanced with swirls of motion (check out Jack's shoes), mottled-background snowfall, and a few perfectly formed snowflakes." --The Horn Book
