Illustrated by
Wendy Watson.
In the spirit of the Watsons' Father Fox's Pennyrhymes, here are fifteen vignettes that focus on the season's joyful preparations and the warmth of family activities. The rhythms are as crisp as they were in the earlier book, but the mood is gentler. Wendy Watson's full-page art in this larger book is more appropriate for group sharing, and her foxes, while less delicately detailed, are characterized with more subtlety and assurance.
