Filled with the wonderful traditions of Christmas, this story is a poetic, holiday twist on a favorite rhyme!
This is the house where the children slept.
This is the snow that fell on the house
where the children slept.
This is the Christmas story that takes the framework of "This Is the House That Jack Built" and constructs a wonderful story of the magic of Christmas Eve. The rhyme builds up to the climax of Christmas morning and wonderful presents to open. With its repetition, the text is fun to read aloud; and the gorgeous illustrations perfectly capture the wonder of Christmas!
