This cozy, alliterative book counts down from ten to one as a family of five (plus a cat and dog) prepare for Christmas. "Seven velvet stockings hang above the hearth. Six slippered feet race upstairs to bed." Katz uses collage, gouache, and colored pencil for her illustrations. Without looking cluttered, the eye-catching compositions fill the pages with bright, flat colors and patterns.
