The Story of Holly & Ivy

32 pp. | Viking | September, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-670-06219-7 $17.99
Reissue (1985, Viking)
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Barbara Cooney. An orphan, an unpurchased doll, and a lonely older couple persevere through a cold Christmas Eve and are united by fate for a joyous holiday morning. Texturally rich and evocatively wintry, this reissue is timeless: "a story about wishing" not for trucks or dolls but for home and family, and a story about the universal gifts of warmth and love.
Reviewer: Claire E. Gross | Horn Book Magazine Issue: November, 2006
