Good News! It's Christmas, by Glenys Nellist

Christmas is around the corner (I know it is because last week--the last week of September--Wal-Mart had a forest of Christmas trees for sale. . . .) so here's a new Christmas book.  Glenys Nellist has written Good News! It's Christmas, with illustrations by Lizzie Walkley.

This is definitely for the very young, pre-reading set.  Moms and Dads might get tired of the simple, sing-songy rhymes, but toddlers will eat it up and remember the words.  The pictures are a cute, child-friendly, sanitized version of the Nativity story.  It's a simple book, perfect for snuggling up for story time by the fireplace in the weeks leading up to to Christmas.
