Throughout this exuberant kickoff to the Is This…? series, Yoon portrays an amusing dog’s-eye view of Christmas season novelties—yard ornaments. . . . Employing mixed-media techniques and comic perspectives, Yoon presents the wide-eyed subject’s boisterous personality with confident sketches that capture the small dog’s outsize holiday energy.
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Using mixed media art, Yoon takes simple text and creates a cute story about the oddities of winter through the eyes of a puppy. Comical. . . Illustrations of the recognizable winter decorations, combined with the cute brown puppy and surrounded by white space, gives a seasonal feel without being overwhelming. Short sentences are good for the young audience, and especially for reading aloud. . . A cute story about discovering a new season.
—School Library Journal
Yoon’s trademark energetic mixed-media art (see also Is This…Easter?) captures the puppy’s outgoing personality—and some of the silliness of over-the-top holiday displays.
—The Horn Book
