This review is from: Baby's Christmas (Jellybean Books(R)) (Hardcover)

This book has always been my children's favorite book. I have read it over & over to each child for years & years. Now I'm ordering two more b/c our grandchildren love this book too. Our original book has held out pretty well for 24 years but I want backups for future generations. That's how wonderful this book is. Thanks.

This review is from: Baby's Christmas (Board book)

Like a window into a child's heart, this sweet book captures the innocence and wonder of a little one at Christmas time. The illustrations of Eloise Wilkin are evocative of her tender treatment of the simplicity and wonder of a child at the magic of ordinary things. Though her illustrations evolve in later books to adjust to the times, her treatment of the subject in this gentle book makes one nostalgic for the timeless beauty of the purity of discovery. Truly a delightful book to share with a tiny companion!
