Illustrated by
Tom Browning.
Artist Browning illustrates Moore's classic Christmas poem with expansive, sentimental paintings. His large, full-bleed illustrations of rosy-cheeked Santa and reindeer flying in front of a full moon are iconic rather than original. Though it lacks a distinctive personality or point of view, the art may appeal to an adult audience sharing this well-loved verse with their little ones.
