A gorgeous graphic novel about the joy of discovering nature and the grief of losing a family member. Picture driven, with very little text, but it still tells a thorough and compelling story.

This is my new favorite Christmas book! It is absolutely packed with Christmas spirit and hijinks. I smiled throughout the whole thing. Quintessentially Christmas. Modern, but timeless. Fun, quirky and perfect for the whole family.

This was a very good retelling—true to the original story—but with a flavor that speaks to Gaiman's skill as a storyteller. The dark and twisted artwork, by Lorenzo Mattotti, invites closer inspection and lends its own shadowy abstruseness to this childhood classic.
