Oh man. If I didn't already own the Lisbeth Zwerger edition of The Gift of the Magi, I'd be sorely tempted by this:
THE GIFT OF THE MAGI
illus. by P.J. Lynch
(Candlewick Press)
Innards:
What am I talking about - I'm already sorely tempted. And it's not like I don't have a long-standing habit of acquiring multiple editions of my holiday favorites. So far the count stands at:
A Christmas Carol - 5 (7 if you count audios and spin-offs)
The Night Before Christmas - 3
A Christmas Memory - 2
Plus 8 various nativity-themed picture books
Cripe, I think I'm crumbling. Besides, that $20 credit at Powells.com is still smoldering in my virtual pocket....

Wow. That book is beautiful.
Pretty, pretty illustrations!
You should see P.J. Lynch's version of A Christmas Carol - it's even better.
Oooh. I need this book. (And I should get the Christmas Carol, too. Our's is old and not illustrated. I need an illustrated one.)
Does Candlewick ever publish anything that isn't marvelous?
I've never read it, but that picture with the hair is awesome.
