What's Coming for Christmas?

40 pp. | Farrar/Foster | October, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-374-39948-1 $15.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Georg Hallensleben. Text and art depicting carolers, Nativity scenes, and cookie baking alternate with excitement building among the farm animals. What are they waiting for? The book provides hints, and readers will find the Christmas Eve birth of a foal worth the anticipation. Banks's narrative is full of sensory detail, and Hallensleben's paintings, with their luminous color and thick brush strokes, capture the season's warmth.
