Horn Book (Sat Apr 01 00:00:00 CST 2000)

Unnerving illustrations, created with the aid of a computer, overwhelm this run-of-the-mill story about an elf who falls asleep in a toy plane and mistakenly gets packed and delivered to a boy on Christmas Eve. The book's overload of clashing colors and menacing close-ups (an assembly line of Raggedy Anns is particularly horrific) brings out the tacky side of the holiday.

A 1960 Newbery Honor Book

Carol Kendall's witty, epic tales about the race of people called the Minnipins are now available as Odyssey/Harcourt Young Classics. Now a new generation of readers can thrill to the adventures of the tiny folk who become mighty heroes. The original interior illustrations by Erik Blegvad and Imero Gobbato have been retained, but vibrant new cover art by beloved illustrators Tim and Greg Hildebrandt gives the books a new look for a new audience.
