Over the River and Through the Wood

(4) PS To the six verses of the classic holiday song, two children ride in a sleigh through a snow-covered forest to see their grandparents on Thanksgiving Day. Painterly illustrations feature friendly, round-faced humans and smiling forest creatures. There's a lack of visual context for some of the more old-fashioned words, a missed opportunity to make them relevant for modern kids.
