From Booklist:
Gr. 3-6. Included in this delightful anthology are the traditional songs, stories, carols, and poems one would expect in a Yuletide collection--"The Night before Christmas," "The Gift of the Magi," "The Twelve Days of Christmas." There are also surprises in store for children who crack these pages on a wintry night. Ogden Nash's whimsical "Winter Morning" and Richard Wilbur's beautiful "Boy at the Window" are included, as are Cecil Broadhurst's "Cowboy Carol," and excerpts from such works as Wind in the Wil lows, Little House in the Big Woods , and Black Beauty. Dylan Thomas' "A Child's Christmas in Wales" is here, too, along with an excerpt from Foreman's eloquent War Game (1994), which describes an unforgettable Christmas in the trenches. Thoroughly satisfying from beginning to end, with illustrations that have a special peaceful, cozy elegance, this collection is a must for libraries large and small. Shelley Townsend-Hudson
