About the Author

Nicola Killen has always loved drawing and still likes nothing better than taking her sketchbook to the zoo to draw her favorite animals: rhinos and penguins. She designed cards before starting an MA in children’s book illustration at Cambridge School of Art, and since then she has been working on her own books, including The Little Kitten, The Little Bear, The Little Tiger, The Little Puppy, The Little Rabbit, and The Little Reindeer, which was called “an original and entertaining Christmas story with its own understated charm” in a starred review by Kirkus Reviews and “magical” by Publishers Weekly. Nicola Killen lives and works in Cambridge, England.

Magic!

Magic!
This book is pure magic! Make sure to grab a jingle bell for your child to ring everytime the story calls for "jingling"! We read it multiple times everyday and I've even found my 10 year old reading and loving it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An enchanting Christmas story
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2017

An enchanting Christmas story worth picking up this holiday season!

This is one of my favorite picture books of both the holiday season and the year. I purchased the book based on the illustrations I saw from all the buzz surrounded it's release, and it was totally worth the purchase. The illustrations are absolutely beautifully. I love illustrations that tell a story all their own, which this book does. Nicola Killen's richly detailed illustrations create awe and wonder as you turn the pages and eagerly look for what she's created on the next page. I love the simplicity of her illustrations, her little details found on each page, and the little pops of color that stand out against the perfect wintery back drops of whites, black and gray soft color tones.

The illustrations aren't the only thing that make this book a holiday treasure. The story itself is a charming, heartwarming story about a little girl who hears the jingling of bells. In her bravery of venturing into the woods to find out what's making the sound, she discovers a reindeer's collar left behind in the tree branches. What happens next is a friendship who's story you wish didn't have to end just yet. This book is a magical, night time winter wonderland adventure. Perfect for bedtime reading

There's something simply magical about this book. From the adorable storyline to the lovely illustrations to the cute page cut-outs, this is the one Christmas book that my kids (2 and 4 yo) have asked to read over and over (and over and over) again. The quality of the paper it's printed on is also great—the 2-yo has definitely tugged on it, but so far no tears. Have already purchased for others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Gift Book
Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2018

Some years, I like to give out picture books as Christmas gifts, and this one is on my list to give away. It's sweet but not saccharine. It's just a nice story and the illustrations have a nice mood to them. Brings some of the thoughtful and caring feel of Christmas for friends who are religious and non-religious alike.

It also worked well when I tested it as a read-aloud with kids--so I saved one for my own pile of Christmas picture books.
