We Wish You a Merry Christms: A Traditional Christmas Carol, pictures by Tracey Campbell Pearson, copyright 1983, The Bodley Head.
A bit of humor for the holidays. This is one of those books where the pictures are everything--because the text is just the words of "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." Eight little kids--and a dog--tramp across the snow to sing for their elderly neighbours...and the whole thing turns into chaos when they realize there is No Figgy Pudding in the house.
("General Store. Figgy Pudding. Buy 2 Get 1 Free.")
This was Pearson's first book--and if you read her online bio, you'll find out how a conversation with Someone in an elevator changed her career path from fashion to illustrating children's books.
