    “Giving and sharing never had a better advertisement than this sweet farm story.” —School Library Journal

    “Reminiscent of Jules Feiffer or James Stevenson. . . . Joy to the animal world, too.” —Kirkus Reviews

    “Watts and James underscore the rewards of ingenuity and sharing in this friendly tale about Samantha, a plucky duck who is determined to celebrate Christmas. . . . James’s wispy, fluid pictures humorously—and affectingly—convey Samantha’s spontaneity, optimism, and irrepressible holiday spirit.” —Publishers Weekly

    “[An] endearing holiday tale.” —The Horn Book
