The Stable Rat and Other Christmas Poems

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Anita Lobel. These nine ruminations concerning the Nativity offer a pleasing variety. Most of the harmoniously composed art features appealing versions of the story's usual familiar creatures in Lobel's signature style. This beautifully presented collection is child friendly and wonderfully concrete, lyrical and allusive, both devout and nonsectarian--worthy of joining such favorites as Carmen Bernos de Gasztold's Prayers from the Ark.
