Review by Horn Book Review

Half of the illustrations for this Caldecott Honor Book, first published in 1961 and in print ever since, were in black and white. Spier has added color by hand, matching the palette of the original's cozy autumnal New England scenes. Musical notation for the folksong on which the story is based is included; an appended artist's note engagingly describes the colorization process. (c) Copyright 2015.
