Just Right for Christmas

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Rosalind Beardshaw. A king asks his sewing maids to make a red cloak for the princess for Christmas. A kitchen maid makes her mother a jacket with scraps from the cloth. A badger uses leftovers to make his pa a hat, and the cycle continues as the fabric is used by tinier and tinier kingdom inhabitants. Black's story of thoughtful gift-giving is well paired with Beardshaw's jovial mixed-media art.
