Twelve brief poems by contemporary British authors celebrate various facets of the season. Subjects of the mostly rhyming verses include Christmas trees, school festivities, the birth of Jesus, Father Christmas, bells, and angels, but the selection seems curiously flat. Brightly colored and cheerful pictures accompany this slim volume of holiday poems for younger readers and listeners.
