As colorful as a box of crayons, Grover's illustrations set Moore's classic Christmas poem in a working class neighborhood. The staid Santa in the pictures doesn't match the "right jolly old elf" of the poem, but the bold, eye-catching palette and chunky, toy-like people and objects will draw readers in.

Illustrated by
Max Grover.
This is a fresh pictorial interpretation of four poems from A Child's Garden of Verses. The text is enclosed in colored boxes across the pages; the bold, blocky pictures are rendered in striking rainbow-hued acrylics. Occasionally the children pictured look almost too old to be engaged in the play described in the verse, but this is an appealing modernization nonetheless.
