Way Back Wednesday ~ A Magical Christmas – Claire Freedman
This review was originally posted on December 19, 2011.
A Magical Christmas is a lovely story written in rhyme. Little Mouse wants to know what exactly is the magic of Christmas. In order to find the answer he goes and asks each member of his family, but each family member has a different answer. Finally on Christmas Day Mommy Mouse shares with Little Mouse that all the answers were correct because…”The magic is love, Little Mouse.”
The illustrations in this book are particularly noteworthy. They are simply beautiful. Each page includes sections that are gently enhanced with glitter which truly bring the illustration to life.
