One snowy Christmas Eve, the king buys some soft red cloth to make a cloak for the princess. Little does he know that the left-over cloth will be used to make presents for many more of the kingdom’s inhabitants, right down to the last teeny bit of cloth, which is just right to make a scarf that will protect the smallest mouse from the winter chill.
Rhythmical writing from author Birdie Black and heartwarming, charming illustrations from renowned Rosalind Beardshaw make this lovely story with a perfect Christmas message a joy to give to your loved ones.
*This special edition of Just Right for Christmas comes with read-aloud audio and text highlighting.*
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Cloth "so red and soft and Christmassy!" is the canvas for many holiday gifts in this warm and satisfying tale, reminiscent of the classic Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree. A king first purchases the luxurious cloth at market so his sewing maids can craft a cloak for his daughter. The leftover scraps are placed outside the back door, where the kitchen maid happens on them and makes a jacket for her mother. The subsequent fabric surpluses are passed along, becoming a hat for a badger, gloves for a squirrel, and a tiny mouse scarf in time for Christmas. Beardshaw's mixed-media art depicts snowy, friendly scenes of camaraderie and generosity. Ages 3 up.
