Summary: Illustrations and single words present different aspects of Christmas, and the pictures hide links to Christmas songs and carols.
My Thoughts: I am a fan of Alison Jay's work. The illustrations have an old fashioned feel to them and are distinctive with a crackle finish. Each page has one or two Christmas related words on it and a detailed painting for the ilustration. Look carefully at each picture and you will see clues as to what the next picture will be and you will see the subject of the previous painting too! This adds a bit of "I-spy" to the book. A fun and very visual book to share with a young one!
