(3) K-3 Illustrated by Christopher Manson. Manson's vibrant, textured illustrations capture the verve and enthusiasm of Child's well-known holiday poem. Thick, black-lined woodcuts painted with watercolor create a pleasing wintry rural setting; each framed spread serves as a snapshot of daily nineteenth-century work and play. A brief note about the poem's origin is on the copyright page, and sheet music appears on the back endpapers.
