From Publishers Weekly
Handsome, slightly nostalgic woodcuts render a sweet story about an old dog who refuses to be put out to pasture. Cora accompanies the family as usual to cut down the Christmas tree, but this year she's not harnessed with the other dogs to haul it home. "You're getting too creaky to pull a heavy load," she's toldAbut she finds a way to prove her worth. Crisp evergreens, white snow and bright red and blue accents offer a striking contrast to the bold black lines of the woodcuts. Ages 7-10. (Sept.)

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1-Cora is a Newfoundland dog-big, black, furry, and strong. She, her daughter, and her granddaughter have always accompanied their human family on their annual Christmas-tree hunt in the woods. The dogs proudly wear their harnesses to pull in the tree that the family chooses. However, this year, the people think that Cora is too old to help. She tags along anyway, gets in the way, figures out what is happening, and asserts herself in the lead where she knows she belongs. The family members realize that they have underestimated Cora and promise to make it up to her next year. Bold black-line drawings with watercolor washes clearly show off the black dogs in the white snow and lend interest to the double-page spreads. The artwork is appealing but the story is somewhat flat.-L.F.
