(4) K-3 Illustrated by Doris Barrette. The beloved holiday song's lyrics are here paired with crisply defined jewel-tone illustrations. Unfortunately failing to provide any sense of narrative, they prove to be more an accompaniment than a duet. Still, the textual imagery is sufficiently sensory and the art expressive enough to make this an enjoyable, if superficial, seasonal read.
