About This Book
John Langstaff's 'On Christmas Day in the Morning' is a lovely picture book that illustrates the verses of a beloved traditional English Christmas carol. The story follows various anthropomorphic animals, such as a fox, a squirrel, and a mouse, as they diligently work to harvest their crops and prepare a grand feast for Christmas Day. The repetitive, lyrical text makes it an excellent read-aloud, perfect for fostering a sense of warmth and tradition during the holiday season. It's a gentle, festive book that introduces children to classic carols and the joy of community.
