I read this book and it’s pretty weird. I think I’ll see how people like it and then keep or discard.

I do enjoy a good troll. ( )

This is a great book for primary readers and describes a girl who's house get's raided by trolls every Christmas Eve. This year thought there is a boy and his polar bear sleeping inside because they needed a place to stay. This is one of my favorite books and gives young children the chance to imagine something new.

Those pesky trolls! In one of Brett's earlier books they were out to get items of clothing, but now they're invading people's homes to try to steal the Christmas Eve feast!Thankfuly a boy travelling to Oslo with his ice bear save the day (since Trolls don't know better than to poke a sleeping bear) and everyone can eat the feast in peace.

As always, Jan Brett has breath-taking illustrations and a sweat story that can be passed down for the ages. This one involves trolls that destroy christmas, and one bear called Kitty that can save it.

I love Jan Brett's beautiful illustrations. But this story didn't do much for me. One highlight: The troll's confusion of the polar bear ("ice bear") for a cat, and the little girl's using that to trick the troll ("Missy," [the troll] called in a high, cracky voice, "do you still have that kitty that sleeps under the stove?" "Oh, yes," Kyri said, "only she has grown up into a big cat now, and she has seven kittens, all larger and fiercer than herself.") I found it amusing and so did my 3yo. ( )
