(3) K-3 Illustrated by Barbara Cooney. In Cooney's retelling of the medieval French legend, the little orphaned juggler of Notre Dame--having no other gift to bring to the statue of Mary and the Child--entertained them with his tumbling. The telling is dignified and tender, as is the art; black-and-white illustrations alternate with pictures in which bright colors--Christmas red and green and the luminous blue of stained glass--are added. This edition includes Cooney's original foreword and a new afterword by Jan M. Ziolkowski.
