Illustrated by
Gilbert Ford.
In this adaptation of the cumulative Christmas song, students and their teacher visit the Big Apple's famous sights; some irrelevant choices--"Two Folks in Love" in Central Park and "Eight Babes a–Bawling" in Grand Central--could have been seen at home. A map on the final spread identifying sights worth visiting will be useful for travelers. Ford's energetic illustrations capture the city's bustle.
