Illustrated by
Tim Warnes.
Lyrics to the title Christmas carol are tweaked in this picture book that speaks to love between parent and child (bears, in this case) and appreciation of nature. The illustrations are warm and inviting, though it's difficult to read the silvery text against dark-blue backgrounds. Readers will want to sing along with the song, but the meter is slightly off.
