Newbery Christmas : Fourteen Stories of Christmas by Newbery Award - Winning Authors

For what better time than Christmas, that most family-oriented of holidays, to read stories written by authors honored as winners of the John Newbery Medal for their contributions to literature for children? This collection is comprised of authors that today¹s children know and love, from E. L. Konigsburg and Nancy Willard to Beverly Cleary. It also contains stories by writers familiar to their parents &, perhaps, to their grandparents, from Ruth Sawyer and Rachel Field to Lois Lenski, Eleanor Estes, and Madeleine L¹Engle. Some of these stories are humorous; some recall Christmases of years past; and others remind us again of the true meaning of Christmas. A collection to savor and to read aloud.Greenberg, Martin is the author of 'Newbery Christmas : Fourteen Stories of Christmas by Newbery Award - Winning Authors', published 2005 under ISBN 9780756789435 and ISBN 0756789435.
