Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
The Classic Christmas Treasury for Children
Louise B. Egan · 1997
75/100
👍 Worth It
Nine beloved Christmas stories and poems in one illustrated keepsake — including the Nativity, the Nutcracker, and The Night Before Christmas — makes this a genuinely useful family read-aloud for the holiday season. The multi-artist illustration lineup keeps each spread visually fresh. At 56 pages it's seasonal and slim, but that's exactly the right size for December evenings with young children.
