(2) K-3 A distinguished book full of color, fun, and the charm of ways that are just different enough to be fascinating. We see Lise and Lasse driving their reindeer, tumbling in and out of their sleds, and going to school. The children's joy from living in the land where the beautiful Northern lights play in the sky comes shining through, but the text will seem long to twenty-first century children.
