BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - NO

AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW

DePaola illustrates Christina Rosetti’s poem “In the Bleak Midwinter”. For those who collect Christmas picture books, this may be an option. However, there is no backmatter to act as context for the poem, or even Rosetti’s full name, so it is not helpful.
