 Walter de la Mare’s gentle poem has illustrations of a family preparing for Christmas, done in screen prints with a limited, muted palette. The family decorates their home, goes to bed, and waits for Santa Claus to arrive. The children wake up to presents, going sledding, and making a snowman. The text is perfect for the illustrations. The book makes a beautiful winter bedtime story. mjw |
