Editorial Reviews

From snowy hills in "January [which] brings us coasting/ Taffy pulls and apple roasting" to December, which "brings glad Christmas cheer," Tasha Tudor's Around the Year alternates between antique watercolors and b&w drawings. The Caldecott Honor artist frames the comforting verse with old-fashioned landscapes and quaint country scenes, first published in 1957. (Oct.) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
