Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Hague's distinctive and beguiling interpretation of Berlin's beloved song eschews Coca-Cola Santas, gingerbread men, and modern kiddies for a Nordic fairy tale wonderland of elves, sprites, and shaggy goats and polar bears. A 20-something woman shakes a snow globe, awakening a world within: rainbows arch over frozen waterfalls, Lokiesque tricksters pop up, a Father Christmas–style Santa makes the rounds, and icicles hang from every surface. Includes sheet music for fireside sing-alongs. All ages. (Oct.)

From School Library Journal
K Up–Libraries do not need this disappointing excuse for an illustrated song book. The lyrics of the Berlin standard are illustrated with poor-quality Hague fairies in winter scenes that seem designed for the art resale market. The images are blurry and while skillfully done as one would expect, aggressively commercial and lacking in character. Plus, the paintings do not correspond to the text unless the Beverly Hills matron introduced in the opening verse used to live at the North Pole.Anne Connor, Los Angeles Public Library

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Arrangements.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: White Christmas: Movie Vocal Selections (Piano/Vocal/Guitar Songbook) (Paperback)
This book is for the Intermediate Pianist (I'd say level 4-5 if you're comparing it by the Alfred lesson books.) The arrangements are in their entirety, but simplified for the Intermediate Pianist. Easy to follow notation and lyrics; my family loves to sing along while I play these classic tunes.
