ISBN 0307601668 - A Little Golden Christmas book! Does it get any better than that? Well, it does, this isn't the best book in the history of Golden Books. In fact, it's pretty average, but it's still a nice addition to both the Christmas shelf and the Golden book collection.
Baby comes down on Christmas morning (he's carried down, of course) to see what Santa has left for him. A long list of gifts follows, in a vague rhyming pattern, ending with a big surprise - a toy box for all of baby's Christmas presents!
If you're anti-Santa, pass this one up. Jesus makes an appearance, too, so those who don't do that aspect of the holiday might want to forego this one. Greediness pops in, in a way. Not only is most of the book merely a list of toys that baby's gotten, but there's "Santa left a rubber ball To roll along the floor, A picture book, a kitty cat, And more, more, more!", which rhymes... but sounds bad. Still, I like it and I think many young children will as well. Sisters Esther (author) and Eloise (illustrator) Wilkin are a good pair, with Eloise stealing the show in this book. Baby is one cute baby!
