(4) PS Illustrated by Jennifer Emery. No family squabbles or broken ornaments mar this super-traditional version of a family Christmas. Short rhyming sentences ("Tree is trimmed, / lights are dimmed") describe how five happy family members decorate, sing, attend church, open presents, bake cookies, and welcome guests to holiday dinner. Each detail is evoked by warmly glowing, unrepentantly sentimental watercolors surrounded by a country-quilt-style border.
