Reviews
Grade 3-6–A nostalgic look at a Christmas in a small Kentucky coal town in 1920, based on the author's family lore. Ruble Cole, 10, doesn't expect much for Christmas. Life is hard for a family with nine children. So she and her siblings are surprised when Mama tells them to look through the Wish Book (the Sears, Roebuck and Company catalog) to pick out one thing they really want. Will an unexpected snowstorm put a stop to what just may be the family's best Christmas ever? Not if Mama and Papa can help it. These hardworking, loving, and forgiving parents possess an unusual understanding of all their children's secret dreams. Despite a few moments of real charm, the writing is serviceable at best, and the illustrations are cartoonish and unattractive.–Mara Alpert, Los Angeles Public Library
