While Joseph is asleep, his father leaves him to go up the hill to the farm, to get him the puppy he has been wishing for
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
PreSchool-Grade 3-- A young boy named Joseph sits by the fire and wonders why his father has gone out into the "frosty and cold" night. The father climbs a hill, follows a path, and arrives at a farm. Inside, children play at a table, apparently making gifts. The farm couple take him into the barn, and soon he leaves with a cardboard box held carefully in his arms. In the morning, Joseph's parents greet him and present him with the box, which contains a new puppy. The full-color illustrations are rendered with great skill and charm; each scene contains delightful details and visual clues that draw readers into this birthday story. Unfortunately, the text is stilted and stiff; awkward, repetitive sentence construction will be baffling to children and tedious to adults: "With the moon to guide them the yard they're crossing./ From the window the children are watching."A definite drawback in an otherwise appealing book with a festive, loving theme. --Eve Larkin, Chicago Public Library
