A Carol Is Born: Stories Behind the Carols

This book is really wonderful for all ages, but it is written so that even small children will understand the wonderful and interesting stories of how six famous Christmas carols were created. The whole book is also on the enclosed CD, narrated by the author, so school aged children can read along and then listen to the carols, sung by the angelic voices of a large children's choir accompanied by an orchestra. WHAT A TERRIFIC CHRISTMAS GIFT! The delightful full color illustrations by Pat Marvenko Smith bring the stories to life. I highly recommend this book as one that your family can read together around the Christmas tree.
