Santa's Problem With Old Houses


I honestly never thought about how hard is for Santa to land on the roof and get to the chimney of an old house like this one. Click to enlarge this delightful image is by illustrator Jan Brett in the 1998 edition of "The Night Before Christmas"

tammy j -- Tam, You are young at heart and so am I. We still get a thrill from these images in children's books. But don't forget, they are still being read to children by adults and the clever artist will keep that in mind. Those images are timeless. xo, Rosemary

Just charming. I, too, am a lover of children's books, especially the older ones. I love it when you post about them, Rosemary. You've acquainted me with several children's book authors that I have never heard of.

Thank you for sharing this artist.. I had never heard of her. I took a look on the web for her and found her site. There are some great free printables there, I will print some of the bookmarks.
