Beautiful stories from Cynthia Rylant

By Thriftbooks.com User, May 12, 2007

The children and I were happy with this wonderful story. It is about a little girl who lives with her grandparents and her memories of happy Christmas days. The illustrations are wonderful and realistic. A must have for your Christmas collection.

In the archetype, ritual is important, family and friends are important, snow isgood, and a tangerine in a stocking is enough to inspire oohs and ahs of delight. "Christmas in the Country" is a worthy addition to the...
