Tafuri's striking, oversized illustrations show a child preparing for Christmas by making something (cards, cookies, a gingerbread house, bird treats) each day in December. The art, simple text--"Days 12 and 13, I wrap and tie"--and large format make the book suitable for a preschool audience; most children will need adult help with even the most simple crafts (instructions for four activities are included).
