The Christmas Book by Dick Bruna
Hardie Grant Books, 2014. ISBN 9781921288814
About forty years ago the first books I bought my firstborn child
were Dick Bruna's Miffy,
Poppy Pig and I Can Count. So how excited was I to
win a copy of The Christmas Book from my friend The Book Chook!
Last night after taking Small to see some Christmas Lights and
particularly the magnificent display and 'festival' at the Sandgate
Uniting Church, it seemed most fitting that our bedtime story
should be the story of Christmas as told by Bruna.
With a simplified but engaging text and Bruna's signature
illustrative style, this is such a charming book - and timeless.
First published in 1964, there is no doubt it is just as appealing
to today's audience as those of fifty years ago.
Share the joy and reason for the season with a little one you know
with this beautiful book and if you have not yet done so explore the
Miffy site and
Dick Bruna House.
