PreS-Gr 2—There's something for everybody in this festive volume. It is filled with holiday-themed stories about classic picture-book characters, interspersed with well-known Christmas carols charmingly illustrated by H. A. Rey. Curious George, Tacky the penguin, Lyle Crocodile, Ollie the duckling, Fireman Small, and Strega Nona are here, along with a reprint of the 1912 version of Clement C. Moore's "'Twas the Night Before Christmas," illustrated by Jessie Willcox Smith. A CD of holiday music is also included. This is a handsome collection that will be appreciated by busy families looking for a lot of holiday cheer all in one place.—Mara Alpert, Los Angeles Public Library
