But there's a part of me that would love to have my house so simply decorated for Christmas just like Holly Hobbie's illustrations. This poem has been illustrated a thousand times and each of our copies vary greatly in style. But I love every one of them!

What beautiful, warm illustrations. I love the fireside one, and the one on the steps. And how the cat figures into the story. What a cozy, warm home...perfect for Christmastide.
ReplyDeleteThis has all been interesting and educational for me. I never knew there was a real Holly Hobbie who illustrated. I thought she was just a drawn character in a bonnet. I also had never heard of Tomie DePaola.
