Reviews for A Christmas Story "The detail in the pictures means that each turn of the page brings something interesting to talk about. If you are looking for a book to bring more to the Christmas celebration than presents and Santa then A Christmas Story is for you. Enjoy it!" * The Bookbag *
"The beautiful illustrations ... are evocative in a quite different way and they are equally skilful in bringing the story of the birth of Jesus to life." * Julia Eccleshare, The Guardian online *
"A bright and lively version of the traditional carol, brimming with energy and colour."
