Picture book. Christmas. A very large cat may be the key to saving Christmas in this wryly humorous retelling of the Norwegian fairy tale The Cat on the Dovrefjell . When a man captures a great white bear, he is determined to bring it as a gift to the king of Finnmark. But to do that, first he must cross the Dovrefells--a mountain covered in snow and ice--in the middle of winter. On Christmas Eve, he reaches the house of a man named Halvor, and asks if he can stay the night. Halvor warns that every year on Christmas Eve, trolls come down from the mountains to take over his home, but the man and his polar bear think they may just be able to help... 4 yrs+… (mere)

In this Christmas folktale from Norway - originally entitled Kjetta på Dovre, it was collected by Asbjørnsen and Moe, in their classic Norske Folkeeventyr - a man and his bear (chiefly the bear) drive a troupe of trolls out of the home of Halvor the cottager one Christmas Eve night. Stopping for shelter, on their journey to the King of Denmark - the man intending to give the bear to the king - they are warned about the trolls that descend upon the house every Christmas, but choose to stay regardless. When one of the ill-mannered invaders mistakes the bear for a pussy-cat, he gets the surprise of his life, setting off a chain of misunderstandings that eventually frees Halvor from his yearly visitors...

I was pleased to see this traditional retelling of this folktale, after having only a lukewarm response to Jane Yolen's recent revisionist adaptation, Sister Bear: A Norse Tale, which changes the man in the story to a young girl, while also expanding her role. Here it is the ursine "cat" who is center stage - as it should be - and the humor of the story is more evident. As always, Tomie dePaola's stylized illustrations are a pleasure - I enjoyed looking at his trolls! I believe this story has also been retold by Jan Brett, in her Who's That Knocking on Christmas Eve?, and I think I may track that title down, to contrast and compare. ( )
