The Gift of the Magi

Reissue (1982, Neugebauer)
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Lisbeth Zwerger. Zwerger illustrates O. Henry's classic Christmas story about sacrifice and love with evocative pictures that heavily feature grays, browns, and blues. The swirling typeface is difficult to read, but the book's unusual trim size and vertical orientation put Zwerger's paintings on full display.
Reviewer: Elissa Gershowitz
