About the Author:
From School Library Journal:
Mark Gonyea is the author and illustrator of A Book About Color: A Clear and Simple Guide for Young Artists, A Book About Design: Complicated Doesn't Make It Good, and Another Book About Design: Complicated Doesn't Make It Bad. He was born in upstate New York and spent most of his childhood consuming cartoons, video games, and monster movies.
PreS-Gr 2–Gonyea, a graphic designer, tries his hand at a very simple Christmas story–with mixed success. The simplified comic layout and the nearly wordless text show what happens when a boy wishes he had elves to help with his Christmas chores. All too soon, his “Woo Hoo!” reaction turns to “Oh no!” as the elves cause more trouble than they're worth and prove to be hard to get rid of. In the meantime, Santa is overworked, trying to get Christmas under control, and wishes he had his elves back. Vibrant, modern blocks of flat red, green, yellow, black, and white are at times visually compelling but more often, confusingly cluttered.Anne Connor, Los Angeles Public Library
