Reviews
School Library Journal
"The narrative is not so much a story as a series of vignettes showing different Corgi families engaged in holiday preparations and activities. Gentle nostalgia from a timeless master"
Horn Book Guide
"Corgiville, a country village, bustles with holiday activity. In a series of festive vignettes, dogs, rabbits, and cats sip tea, shop for gifts, and attend skating parties. The animals are reminiscent of Beatrix Potter's, though rendered with a less precise brush. Cozy and old-fashioned, this book is based on memories of Tudor's 1920s childhood and populated by characters modeled on her pets and her children's dolls."
Kirkus Reviews
"Those who love Tudor's reverent homage to yesteryear will enjoy spending time in snowy Corgiville for the holiday season"
Christian Library Journal
"Tudor's lovely watercolor and crayon illustrations make the book a banquet of imagesfor the reader, whether adult or child. The pictures are full of activity and color and one can imagine a toddler sitting on Mom or Dad's lap, pointing at the playful Corgis while the text is read aloud. The illustrations and text match in mood and support one another well. … The book is pure enjoyment and sure to become a seasonal classic."—
