MICHAEL HAGUE'S TREASURY OF CHRISTMAS CAROLS

COPY ISBN
PreS-Gr 2—"Jingle Bells," "Deck the Halls," "O Christmas Tree," and "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" are beautifully illustrated and perfect for storytime sharing. Spreads include the lyrics in a large and readable type opposite full-page paintings of adorable little animals in old-fashioned garb participating in various holiday activities. The book does not include the musical notation for the songs, but it does have a brief author's note that gives the history of each one. The red fuzzy cover probably won't look so good after a few circulations, but librarians, teachers, and parents will definitely be able to make use of the contents during the holiday season.—Mara Alpert, Los Angeles Public Library
New ed., 1990, 1991, Holt. The texts of four traditional carols, without music, are bound in red flocking and illustrated with Hague's signature sentimental paintings. The material was originally published as four small stocking-stuffer books. It's all very festive, but this one volume offers little to attract any but Hague's devoted collectors.
