From Booklist
Translated from the German, the text of this version of the Andersen fairy tale is unexceptional, but Watt's detailed double-paged spreads are beautiful. They are quieter in color with less dramatic close-up views than Jerry Pinkney's glowing picture book with the same title, which was a 2000 Caldecott Honor Book. Watts' active pastoral landscapes, filled with light and movement, capture the changing seasons and the sturdy, unwanted outsider's search for home. The story has enduring appeal and there's space for many versions on our shelves. Hazel Rochman
