This is a delightful book for children, based on the well-known Christmas carol. It is written by Kathleen Darragh and and illustrated by Jeanette Dunne. Here children can discover for themselves in pictures and by reading the people, the images, the symbols and the variety that is the Christmas story. There is playfulness, energy and pluralism about the pictures. The text is engagingly simple. I would have loved it in my Christmas stocking.
