"This production is thoughtfully put together - and thought-provoking for all listeners." -
"Curtin superlatively narrates the iconographic adaptation of Kate DiCamillo's nostalgic picture book, set at Christmastime in the 1940's. An elegant old-fashioned score pleases the ear, while realistic sound effects enhance the program. A perfect choice for holiday storytimes." - Booklist
"A simple, yet ultimately moving tale…able narrated by Jane Curtin, with a fine soundtrack…Great Joy reminds us all of child's simple capacity for goodness…recommended." - Starred Review, Video Librarian
