Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Little Polly Flowerdew lives with her two maiden aunts, and she is absolutely sure that something special is going to happen this Christmas. She leaves her bedroom window open on Christmas Eve, just in case the three wise men decide to come visit. When she wakes up on Christmas morning, more than one miracle seems to have taken place.
A moving, lyrical, and endearing chapter book, celebrating the magic as well as the mystery of Christmas, this is Godine's very first title by Elizabeth Goudge, mistress of the art of storytelling, and it's charmingly illustrated with ink drawings by Margot Tomes. It is a perfect Christmas read-aloud for young children and their parents.

I love this book! Although I'm 42 and my child will no longer sit with me to read it, I read it every Christmas. This is a charming Christmas story from a simpler time. It's little Polly's very first Christmas since her parents died. She's living with her aunts now in an old English seaport town and having a little trouble adjusting. Goudge tells a story that will remind you to notice every-day miracles and the ways in which children can keep us all young. The reading level makes it appropriate for children comfortable with chapter books, or for reading out loud over a few nights before Christmas to settle the younger kids down. Please note that I did not buy my copy on Amazon, so I can't speak to the editions it is selling. In fact, I can't remember how my copy came to me, but I am trying to find copies to share with my young neices. P.S. If you want to know what a "sugar mouse" is, try looking at a shop that imports British gourmet items. We did!
