Delightful animal characters romp through the lyrics of Christmas carols in these small-format picture books by popular illustrator Hague. In Jingle Bells , the snow flies as a bunny drives his one-horse open sleigh, while a menagerie of creatures makes spirits bright by frolicking in the snow, trimming trees and singing songs.
We Wish You a Merry Christmas is enacted by a bunny, squirrel and mouse visiting a teddy bear family. The trio demands, "Please bring us some figgy pudding," then sits down, folds its arms and pouts, "We won't go until we get some." The spirit of joy that delicately permeates both books should bring a smile to the faces of the lucky children who receive these in their stockings. Each book contains a page with holiday wishes and blanks for the names of giver and recipient.
