New Releases by Wendy Edelson

This little board book gently introduces young children to the meaning of Christmas, using only about 200 words. From the Annunciation by the angel, to the birth of Jesus, to the appearance of the angels to the shepherds, the events of the first Christmas are explained in simple words and illustrated with bright, colorful artwork. This book, here in a fresh size and updated design, is a new edition of an enduring Christmastime classic. Ages 2-5.

This lively musical board book features the lyrics to the song 'Over the River and Through the Woods.' When the button is pushed, the melody plays. Wendy Edelson's illustrations depict a jovial family on a journey to Grandmother's house. Long an American tradition, it is perhaps the best-known song associated with Thanksgiving -- though it is also sung at Christmas and often referenced during family road trips. The text in this edition does not specifically name any holiday, so it will remain appropriate throughout the fall and winter months. Children will love this new musical board book. Ages 2-5.
