(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Julie Paschkis. Following an introduction that explains the story's genesis and its conversion into a ballet, the book presents a traditional version of the holiday tale. Although the patterned backgrounds add a further dimension to the artwork, the pictures themselves are not appealing: both the characters' features and the palette are unattractive. Nevertheless, the book and its accompanying CD provide a faithful introduction.
