A true classic that never goes out of style, this splendorous picture book is a must-have read during the holidays, which puts it on the
New York Times Bess Sellers list for Children's Picture Books every year. The only book that comes close is the Polar Express, which didn't make it on the top ten list this year. With its vividly bright primary colors and larger-than-life figures done by various illustrators, I've never seen a "bad" copy of this book. I personally recommend the versions illustrated by Mary Engelbreit and Douglas Gorsline. Engelbreit offers more vivid, bolder colors and characters, while Gorsline offers more subtle, softer, often candlelit, scenes.
