Dodge, Mary Mapes

Illustrated by
Laurel Long.
Mary Mapes Dodge's classic tale is here adapted for a picture book audience. Hans and his sister prepare for an ice skating race while Hans tries to solve the puzzle of a mysterious watch. The book's highlight is Long's glowing oil paintings, which are equally effective in illustrating Holland's snowy, glittering landscape and the story's warmer, more intimate family moments.
