Mary Engelbreit's Merry Little Christmas book delight

This book, and alphabet book for Christmas is delightful. As usual Mary Engelbreit's illustrations are colorful, rich with fanciful imagination and fun for all ages to look at. A book that can be read during the holiday season or not, but surely to be a keepsake.

Absolutely Beautiful from A to Z!!

This book is absolutely beautiful!! The illustrations are just adorable. I love to read this book to my daughter. The illustrations are just captivating, you can stare at them for hours. It truly just takes you to a place of warmth, comfort and joy, and after all isnt that what the holidays are suppose to be about!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book. The Night Before Christmas is absolutely gorgeous as well!!

Very Charming Illustrations

My children constantly picked up the book to page through it. The illustrations are very sweet and the book was easy for my 4 and 6 year olds to read and enjoy on their own.

An irresistible holiday book that must hold a place in everyone's home library!

Mary Engelbreit has won a place in my heart over the years with her colorful illustrations, and lovable, oft-times zany characters. However, with A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS, Engelbreit has managed to combine each and every cheerful thing that accompanies the holidays, and place them all into one very unique, beautifully illustrated rhyming tale, that manages to give a child a lesson in the alphabet due to the fact that it is CELEBRATING FROM A TO Z. If you are searching for a holiday book that will stay popular throughout the year, you can't go wrong with Mary Engelbreit's latest. The cheerful prose coupled with the breathtaking illustrations of a little mouse family preparing for the coming holiday will make readers young and old smile, while tossing them headfirst into the holiday spirit. An irresistible holiday book that must hold a place in everyone's home library! Erika Sorocco
