The preparations and activities build Christmas excitement
Days filled with preparations, anticipation, and joyous excitement are captured with humor and affection in the text and illustrations by Tasha Tudor. Happy memories of her childhood Christmases in 1920's Connecticut are transposed to the magic world of Corgiville. On December 25, the parlor door opens to reveal a magnificent Christmas tree with lighted candles and shining ornaments. The full-color illustrations radiate a glowing warmth and Christmas cheer. "Those who love Tudor's reverent homage to yesteryear will enjoy spending time in snowy Corgiville for the holiday season." –Kirkus Reviews Leveled Readers 5.4. (All Ages) 48 pp. HC
