The Best New Christmas Books of 2008
Colourful holiday books are a timeless treasure for parents and children alike. We’ve rounded up a few favourites that are sure to get everyone into the spirit of the season
Originally published December, 2008
A Moose in a Maple Tree: The All-Canadian 12 Days of Christmas by Troy Townsin, illustrated by Jennifer Harrington (Polyglot, $20) is a new take on an old favourite. In this all-Canadian rendition, a Canuck replaces the standard “true love,” and “lords a leaping” give way to sled dogs mushing. A portion of the proceeds from each sale will go to the Make-A-Wish foundation.
