These books have less text than the Mercy Watson books, but they are still interesting stories with a fantastic vocabulary. Perfect for a hesitant reader. My son and my daughter both enjoyed them.

We first read this book at the library, and chose it as this year's addition to the family Christmas book collection. I want my children to understand and be sensitive to the needs of others. The girl in the story is both curious about and kind to the organ player. The illustrations tell much of what is not said in the story - her family's financial circumstances, the absence of a father due to the war, the concern of her mother both to keep up appearances and be safe. Each time I read it with my children, we see new details that add to the depth and reality of each character. We have read it many times, and with it packed away until next Christmas, I'm sure we'll enjoy it again and again.

One note - I'm not sure why it's called a "midi" edition. I believe this might be better stated "mini" edition. The pages are about 6" x 8", but it's still adequately large to enjoy.
I found this book last year and gave it to lots of people for Christmas because it's such a great story of a child experiencing the real spirit of Christmas, opening herself to other's needs and including them in the fold. And this year, I was involved in a homeless project trying to raise awareness of homeless women in our area so it had even more relevance to my life, to the people with whom I was working and to whom I gave it, and to the spirit of the season. And it's gorgeously illustrated and presented -- a favorite of mine. I believe it's currently out-of-print and the price on was incredible.
Granddaughter loved this series
I’m not sure why these books are so popular. It was boring.
I didn't relate too much to these characters or the plot. The artwork is cute and kids enjoyed the drawings of the two girls. Maybe if you read other books about these same characters it would catch on better, but this one is definitely medium, in my students' opinion.
I bought this book, last Christmas, for a friend and couldn't wait to get a copy for myself this year. I too was surprised by the seemingly abrupt ending. I am writing in response to the review that had nothing good to say about the book. I agree that this book is more for adults who will grasp its meaning. The person who wrote the review thought it was awful that he, the organ grinder, should be invited in, and then what? Back out in the cold? So, I'm wondering, should we do nothing because perhaps we can only do one thing? Look at the joy on the mans face! In a room that size, full of people perhaps there was someone who could offer him a place to stay. Oh how we limit what God can do when we open our hearts to care. May I also suggest that this may have been the first of many offers to come in from the cold, for a hot bowl of soup, hot chocolate or even a cool glass of lemonade on a hot day! Jesus said when you do kind things to others you are doing them unto him! May I also be so bold as to suggest that this may have been the end of the book, but only the beginning of the story. Think about it.
I loved the book. Very Christmas spirit story. Not very long and elaborate as some of Kate's stories (tiger rising, Edward Tulane) but very charming
