Finding Christmas

32 pp. | Dutton | September, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-525-47300-9 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Wayne Anderson. It's Christmas Eve, and a little girl is searching for the perfect gift. She finds a mysterious shop, where a portly customer with a "twinkly eye" buys everything and stuffs it into a sack; only later does she learn his identity. The text is as painstaking as the fantastical illustrations, in which colorful objects glow against somber backdrops.
