It's that time of year...
that special time of the year,
when magic happens,
and we wait for that very special guest to arrive...
From the unique talent of Tina Burke comes a delightful tale about the joy that surrounds Christmas.
"Reading It’s Christmas is a great way to get young children motivated to take part in making the magic that is Christmas. Each page pictures an activity you and your child can do together, from baking cookies to decorating the Christmas tree. For such a simple toddler’s picture book, the ideas and excitement that come from it are endless." - Suite 101
"Burke’s soft, pastel and watercolor drawings are warm and inviting, capturing the magical anticipation and excitement that children feel waiting for the holiday. This is a pleasant and comforting selection for a lap-sit, toddler storytime, or bedtime." - School Library Journal
"The expressions on the children's faces convey far more than words could...a surefire hit with Santa-seeking youngsters." - Shelf Awareness
"Her work is more than just adorable. It's decidely simple - her neat, rounded illustrations with limited detail and nothing extraneous. Nothing that gets in the way of the very youngest reader's / listener's ability to comprehend a simple story about - in this case - Christmas. In fact, it's not even a story. It's a glimpse into Christmas traditions and the joy they can bring for the youngest child..." - Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast
"For such a simple toddler's picture book, the ideas and excitement that come from it are endless." - National Library Board (Singapore)
"...a simple book with few words, but seems to catch the essence of a youngster's anticipation of Santa's coming." - Newton's Book News
"Reading It's Christmas is a great way to get young children motivated to take part in making the magic that is Christmas. Each page pictures an activity a child can do with an adult from baking cookies to decorating the Christmas tree. The delightful, colorful illustrations are the strength of this feel-good book." - Puget Sound Council
"...delightfully simple yet perfectly sweet little book." - Through the Looking Glass Children's Book Review
"Joan Walsh Anglund has a worthy successor in Tina Burke. Her drawings portray the bursting exuberance of young children...nicely assorted in their ethnicity, too...the gentle excitement it engenders will likely keep children asking for it long after the tree is taken down and the decorations packed away for another year." - Curled Up Kids
