Críticas:

'The illustrations are beautiful, and this is a great book for learning about the traditions of other cultures.' --Juno magazine 'To the bustling streets of Prague we go for 'Tom's Christmas Fish', an endearing story of a boy and his grandfather and the live freshwater carp they procure, like 'everyone in the whole country', for their Christmas dinner. Rita Toernqvist-Verschuur's snug watercolors quickly situate us amid the pastel buildings and stone bridges of the Czech capital [...] Marit Toernqvist's emotionally astute story will acquaint readers ages 4-9 with European traditions -- such as making carp-shaped cookies -- that may be new to them.' -- Wall Street Journal

Reseña del editor:

The traditional Christmas meal in Prague isn't turkey or ham, but a special kind of Christmas fish. On Christmas Eve, Tom chooses his live fish at the market, and calls it Peppo. He carefully carries it home, through the streets of Prague's old town, in a big bag of water. Tom loves his new pet, but what fate awaits Peppo as the Christmas meal draws near? This charming, child-friendly story presents one culture's Christmas traditions in fascinating detail. At its core is a heartwarming tale of a boy and his grandpa, as they both learn about doing the right thing. Marit Toernqvist's accomplished artwork vividly brings Tom and Peppo's story, and the beautiful city of Prague, to life.
