This is a lovely, gentle collection for children, of poems about Christmas. The poems describe the wonder and magic of the Christmas story, and the joy of Christmas celebrations today. Some of the poems are funny, some moving, but together they shed new light on the central theme. The poets include Charles Causley, Eleanor Farjeon, e e cummings, and Michael Rosen. This anthology, beautifully illustrated in full colour, is new in paperback with a new cover.
