(3) PS Illustrated by Christopher Wormell. Brilliant, glossy, heavily outlined illustrations of a steadily increasing number of barnyard animals follow the peregrinations of a lost chick as he searches--successfully--for his mother and sisters. This new edition reduces the extra-large trim size to a more modest nine-by-nine-inch square, but the impact of the bold, museum-quality graphic-art illustrations is unaffected.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Christopher Wormell. Wormell's signature prints illustrate Moore's poem. Each individual piece is dramatic and beautiful; some, such as Papa peering out of the window with shadows of reindeer seen on the clapboard house, use dynamic perspectives. As a whole, however, the book feels somewhat static and repetitive, especially when Santa comes on the scene.
