About this title

Synopsis

"O Christmas Tree," "Silent Night," "We Three Kings," "Hark the Herald Angels Sing," and "Ding Dong Merrily on High" are all songs that evoke the magic and wonder of Christmas. This beautiful and ingenious pop-up book offers your readers the chance to learn and cherish these songs. Along the way they're enchanted by charming illustrations, including angels climbing up to decorate a swirling Christmas tree; a seraphic sphere mysteriously appearing in the silent night above a miniature, glowing, Nativity; the Three King’s star slowly turning into a rose-window kaleidoscope; hosts of angels wing in flight across the sky; and more. Featuring melody lines and guitar chords that encourage young readers to sing along, this book makes the perfect gift for Christmas.
