Themes: Bricks/ Traditional Poems
A very different look at a very well-known Christmas
poem. It is totally illustrated,
with great imagination, with small coloured bricks which I felt rather
sceptical about when I first read about the book. However, in the hands of Amanda
Brack who has several other bricks
titles to her name it is amazingly lively – a Lego lover’s paradise I feel. What
really surprised me too was the freshness and charm of Clement Moore’s
poem - after nearly 200 years it
reads so smoothly and I must find a group of children to share it with before Christmas
Day (now coming far too close).
All ages
